LadyAlaise,

This thread has not been followed since July of 2013. The last poster never even posted a second post.

Wonder if you and my Mom are related? lol
Hello LadyAlaise,
Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups.
As Mark explained the poster hasn't posted in a very long time.
However, we do have a Stroke Forum

If you need any help with the forum features, please just post again and someone will help you.

take care.

Default Also missing a carotid artery
I know this thread is a bit outdated but i was also born with my right internal carotid artery. This was found when I was 8 years old after I walked into a mailbox and had an MRI. Nothing really came of it until I was 19, when I was diagnosed with 2 brain aneurysms. The doctors say that I was more at risk for brain aneurysms because of the increased flow in the other arteries. I had brain surgery to clip and coil those two brain aneurysms. I am now 26, have been diagnosed with 2 more small aneurysm that have not been treated yet. I am 8 months pregnant with my first child and hope to have surgery on the two untreated aneurysms soon after my baby girl is born. It is very interesting to me to find other people with this same defect!

Thumbs up One carotid for 84 and counting!
Hi,

My father in law ten years ago also realized he has only one carotid. He is almost 84 years old and he is very healthy. sometimes (rarely) he suffers altitude sickness or dizziness but in general he is very healthy but obvioulsy he takes care about his alimentation habits. This morning we were talking about this rare condition, I googled it and found this forum, it is amazing how the human body finds the way to compensate and works properly for an entire life. Please let me know if there is some specific care for the condition for my 84's father in law. (by the way, that comment of having a tatoo saying "no pulse here" is the best!) Regards.

I read this thread and saw your post about a stroke forum. I tried following the link, but it did not work. Is there still a stroke forum? Thanks so much for any help you can give.

Hello Bashful_One,
Welcome to NeuroTalk,

Yes, there is a Stroke forum. The link works fine for me.
