I have a 7.5 bi-lateral anterior cerebral artery aneurysm. The Dr. sent me back to work and test later?

---

I have another one that 6.4mm and my work is heavy and fast paced and he said there was a 50/50 chance of it rupturing. Shouldn`t I have been hospitalized and tested right away? I had a concussion from being hit on the head at work and kept getting sicker over 2 mo. period. On tues. last wk I had a severe headache was pale, weak and sick at my stomach, sore neck and back and black cicrle under eyes since accident.and sleepy alot. Dr. said this has nothing to do with the aneurysm. Should I get a second opponion?
First of all I will say that no matter what it is your body, and if you are uncomfortable with the prospect of going back to work then by all means you should get a second, third or fourth opinion if that is what it takes. That being said, I would hope that the doctor you are referencing was a neurosurgeon! I would not trust a decision like this to a family doctor or even a regular ER doc. I would request a neurosurgery consult and face to face discussion with them! Hope this helps!  (+ info)

What can cause a blockage in the cerebral artery in the brain?

---

My ex just got his test results back and he has a 55% blockage in the cerebral artery. What will happen now? Meds or surgery?
Cholesterol builds up over time clogs up the arteries. I would imagine they will start with drugs, last resort surgery.  (+ info)

What percent do you stent a Left anterior descending heart artery?

---

I have a 67% stenosis in my left anterior descending artery. My doctor says that he would not consider intervention until it reaches between 70% and 80%. He said that all of my other arteries are clear. He said he was afraid that he might block the artery permanently if stented at this point and that is too great a risk. Could it be that the blockage is from damage to the artery instead of a cholesterol problem. My cholesterol is 131 mgdl and my HDL is 29mgdl but in a good ratio.
The first line of intervention is usually medication. They will follow you closely with checkups and keep an eye on it through stress tests and if need be heart caths. If it gets worse they can do an angioplasty with a stent or just an angioplasty which is very similar to a heart cath but with ballooning the blockage to open up the artery. I have had both done and also a quadruple heart bypass and am doing just fine. I am still taking medication for lowering cholesterol and will most likely take it the rest of my life although my numbers have always been good with a good ratio too! Try not to worry and do what they tell you to do and you should be fine.  (+ info)

What the Differences between Cerebral Infarction and TIA'S?

---

I have CVA and TIA and now Cerebral Infarction just wonder what is different is between TIA and Cerebral Infarction?
Transient Ischemic Attack, means that brain cells suffered a temporary lack of oxygen. Cerebral Infarction means that brain cells died.

And I might point out, both of which have nothing to do with diabetes, the forum that we're in ;)

Occlusion of which artery commonly, typically causes anterior infarct?

What does anterior infarct mean?
Occlusion of which artery commonly, typically causes anterior infarct?

I'm guessing: anterior wall is really right ventricular wall. Right ventricular wall has LAD and right diagonal arteries running down its face. So I'd say anterior infarct is when right diagnoal is blocked. Is this correct?
The Right Coronary Artery is the one supplying the Anterior area of the heart. This is the most important area of the heart, as it is where the core of your electrical system is located. The Sino-Atrial Node, Atrio-Ventricular node, Bundle of H.I.S., and start of the Bundle Branches are all located in the Anterior region. This is the initial electrical pathway where the heartbeat originates. Without an effective anterior region the heart will not work. Anterior MIs are the most lethal heart attacks. If the blood supply to by the RCA is not restored extremely fast the patient has a very poor prognosis.  (+ info)

My father suffers cerebral infarction, but he likes drinking. How can I stop him from drinking? Thank you!?

---

It's said that drinking does harm to people who suffer cerebral infarction a lot. My dad drinks when he is happy or sad. How can I persuade him not to drink?
Just tell him how much he means to you. Let him know that you will be so lonely without him and that you feel it is selfish for him to drink and shorten his time with you. He knows the damage and danger of drinking with this condition. Other than letting him know how important he is to you there is not much moer to be done.  (+ info)

What health problems can arrise from severe hypoplasia of the left anterior crebral artery?

---

I have also been diagnosed with chiari type 1 malformation at the craniocervical juntion with a 10mm seen below the level of the formen magnum. Nuero has suggested that the CMI is no big deal and requested mra that found the hypoplasia in the artery. I was just curious if it is dangerous and does one go along with having the other?
there are different levels of chiari malformation. if you are not satifisfied with your doctor's assessment, seek a 2nd opinion.  (+ info)
