On the afternoon of June 7, Hoan My Saigon Hospital announced that it had just performed professional intervention to save a woman with a giant brain aneurysm that was about to burst but subjectively thought it was due to a vestibular disorder.
The patient is Ms. PTTT (53 years old, Ba Ria - Vung Tau province), who is healthy and has no medical conditions. In the past week, she often had headaches, pain in her temples, and felt an uncomfortable pain when chewing, swallowing, or bending down. She only took brain-boosting supplements.

Doctors discovered that the patient had a large cerebral aneurysm, measuring 7.7 x 5.3 mm, with a 5.0 mm aneurysm neck in the left internal carotid artery and was treated with a stent-coil method.
This is a modern, effective treatment for wide-neck aneurysms. The patient's health is currently stable and the headache has gone away after the intervention.
According to Master, Doctor Pham Dinh Chuong, Department of Neurology, Hoan My Saigon Hospital (the person directly involved), cerebral aneurysms are very dangerous if they rupture, with an incidence of about 4% in the population and most cases of small cerebral aneurysms do not show any symptoms.
Recently, the hospital has received many cases of large aneurysms like Mrs. T and used the flow-diverting stent, stent-coil, and balloon-coil methods to treat these large aneurysms.
