Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and findings of CT angiogram.
You most likely had a syncope or seizure, resulting in transient loss of consciousness.
Aneurysm can be confirmed by doing a four vessel angiogram.
There are two methods to treat it- either by surgery (clipping) or by endovascular procedure (coiling). The choice between the two can be made after the angiogram.
A so now, you should be on anti-seizure medications to prevent the recurrence of seizures.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
