What Causes Discomfort At The Back Of The Neck?

I had an aneurysm Sept. 28, 1983 and had a daughter a year later, Oct. 19, 1984 because they took me off the pill and I had just been married 9 1/2 months when I had my aneurysm and the birth control they gave me after that was just too inconvenient. Anyway, lately the back of my neck has been feeling like it did when I had my aneurysm. I had an arterialgram (sp.?) and they said I no longer had an aneurysm. What else could it be and why does it feel just like the aneurysm?

Hi,

Most aneurysms are small, about 1/8 inch to nearly one inch, and an estimated 50 to 80 per cent of all aneurysms do not rupture during the course of a person’s lifetime. Aneurysms larger than one inch are referred to as “giant” aneurysms and can pose a particularly high risk and can be difficult to treat.

But complete recovery from aneurysms without embolization or coiling is very rare.

So earlier one is an artefact or infract etc.

Please consult your neurosurgeon, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
