Female patient successfully underwent brain aneurysm intervention
Doctors found that the patient had a large brain aneurysm, size 7.7 x 5.3 mm, neck aneurysm 5.0 mm in the left internal carotid artery and was intervened by stent-coil method.
This is an effective, modern treatment for wide neck aneurysms. The patient's health is stable, no headache after the intervention.
According to MSc Pham Dinh Chuong, Department of Neurology, Hoan My Saigon Hospital (who directly intervenes), brain aneurysms are very dangerous if ruptured, the incidence is about 4% in the population and most cases of small brain aneurysms show no symptoms.
