Is There Any Treatment For Brain Aneurysm Besides Surgery?

I am a 40 yr old female and I have an aneurism in my brain. It is in a very difficult location and the doctors cannot operate. It stresses me out knowing I have this. The doctors have been monitoring it for the last year and it has not changed in size. It needs to be bigger in order to clip it since it is on a necessary artery - they did balloon testing to check. How do I feel less stressed about this?

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Another way with similar results, that avoids surgery complications, is aneurysm coiling by means of occlusion or filling the aneurysm from inside the artery with very thin titanium wires, and this is done in specialized Neurosugical center. ( Digital subtraction arteriography). Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
