Suggest Treatment For Aneurysm
I have an aneurysm and my doctor said it is untreatable. I have had a second opinion and this other doctor says it is but if he treated it I can have a stroke or even die. The aneurysm is somewhere in the back of my brain where the brain stem is. Should i go through with the treatment or wait a few years for the thing to grow, explode and die?

Hi there.
Cerebral artery aneurysms are usually dangerous and they have the risk of bursting during hypertension or stress. It is important to get it clipped by a Neurosurgeon. Kindly take a second opinion.
