I was just wondering the chances of surviving these. My dad had severe headaches all week and was admitted and found an anurism (sp) that needs to be operated on. What are the chances of surviving, 100% fine after this? Whats the chances he wont survive? I'm pretty shaken up so im just trying to find some background info on this. Two days before i head to London too... couldnt have came in a better time.

Im sure things will work out ok and my best wishes go out that he has a safe operation 🙂

Thanks, and you bet, unless things dont work out.
 
Goodluck to your dad but asking this question here is asinine. Even if ATOT was full of doctors you didn't go in to detail about his particulars. And anyway this is a question that you ask his doctor/surgeon, not people on AT.

Anyway, goodluck!

Well if things work out let me know and i'll pm you my phone number, I'll let you know all the good places to go and all the sites you have to check out 😉

Take care,

yea i realize that Skoorb, but i was *hoping* for the best on here.


judging from the website that was posted and what i was told he had the brain Aneurysm which from reading causes a Subarachnoid hemorrhages. "This is bleeding between the brain and the membranes that cover the brain."

Have you not been able to get an idea from the doctor? These things can be very variant in severity, and really without knowing the particulars of your father's situation, it's just a crapshoot as to what anybody could say. His doctor is not just the best source for info, but the only source of really meaningful info, since he/she know the particulars of the case.
 
xXped0thugXx, My dad passed away 2 years ago from an Aneurysm but he was not dignosed before hand... according to the doctors, if he was diagnosed and treated ( surgery ) he would have recovered .....best of luck to U .... I'm sure every thing will be OK
 
From what I know and/or have heard about aneurysms, the fact that the doctor discovered it in time before it ruptured or broke and entered his blood stream is a very god thing. Given that the doctor was optimistic is a good reason for you to feel the same. There is a site with FAQ's about intracerebral aneurysms here. I didn't read it thoroughly, but skimming through it, it seemed to be an easy read and may answer a lot of the questions you have.

I wish him and your family well along with a quick recovery.
 
Probably going to have better luck with it being an aneurysm and not a hemmorage. Sounds like it was caught pretty early.

My mother had a brain hemmorage about 20 years ago. Lived, but lost the feeling on her right side, hearing in the right ear, etc. There was one other person in the hospital that had the same problem, but died.

Odds are a lot better that they caught it now. FWIW, my mother recovered pretty well. Has balance problems and some motor skill problems, but thinking wise she's fine.
 
Cerebral aneurysms are not the same as cerebral hemmorhages. Aneurysms are weakened areas of a blood vessel that pooches out like a balloon. When it breaks, it will result in hemmorhages, leading to stroke or even death.

If your father only has headaches but no neurologic symptoms, it looks like the problem was detected just in time. I don't know who you've spoken with but aneurysms can be treated by surgical clipping or endovascular coiling.

Surgical clipping is done by NEUROSURGEONS and involves directly placing a titanium clip around the base of the aneurysm. It is a rather invasive procedure because the surgeon has to do some cutting to get to the aneurysm. Whether your father is a candidate for surgical correction depends on the size and location of aneurysms.

NEUROINTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGISTS treat aneurysms through a technique called endovascular coiling. They basically introduce a catheter in a big artery in the groin and run that catheter up into the brain. They inject some dye while scanning the patient with an xray machine in real time called a fluoroscope. The scope will allow them to track the catheter and identify its location relative to the aneurysm. Once at the aneurysm, they place a synthetic coil into the aneurysm and reinforce that area. Pretty much the only cutting is when they place a small incision to introduce the catheter. Otherwise the catheter is just moved inside an artery. This procedure is effective, significantly less invasive and can be done on the deeper aneurysms.
