Aneurysm

sacculated aneurysm or a saclike bulging on one side of an artery. Syn: ampullary aneurysm.

my white blood cells count is 41 L. I had a CBC and this was showing like abnormal. I had a pain in my finger joints and now I'm starting to have like tingling in my toes and some times in my muscles. Having a white blood cells count lower is the cause of the pain I have.

Aortic Aneurysms can be very serious. I would suggested you continue to see your doctor, regardless on whether you find a homoeopathic treatment. This is a physical deformity of the artery, and I can't imagine any home remedies to fix it. Don't get me wrong, I am the first one to refuse medication. But you wouldn't treat a broken arm (a physical deformity) at home.

The top two chambers of the heart are called the atria. Between these two chambers is a wall called the septum. When a baby is born this is the last part of the heart to form and can have a small hole in it for a while. You may have heard, "the baby has a hole in its heart." This usually heals up over time.
In the case of atrial septum aneurysm the blood flow out of the heart is a little weaker but can be dealt with. The part for concern is if there begins to be pooling in the atrium. Any blood throughout the body that slows down will become thicker and possible have clots.
The thing you do for this is take a blood thinner. Some doctors have their patients take low-dose aspirin others, especially if you've had a stroke before, take coumadin.
With proper supervision of a doctor I've heard that it doesn't shorten life if you keep up with the thinner blood.

Hematoma is blood pooled outside the blood vessel, aneurysm is a bulging of a blood vessel.

There are two ways, you can either get it treated to prevent rupturing, or have an emergency treatment where an aneurysm is repaired after it is ruptured. Preventative treatment is more preferred.

Most Brain aneurysms are usually without symptoms. The condition is diagnosed during tests. An unruptured brain aneurysm will cause general symptoms like headaches, blurred vision, neck pain and changes in speak simply due to the aneurysm pressing against certain parts of the brain. A ruptured aneurysm however, will cause very sudden symptoms like loss of consciousness, intense headache, etc. In this case, the patient should seek emergency medical assistance.

Most cases of ventricular aneurysm are treated by close medical follow-up and limiting patient activity.

It depends on where the aneurysm is located. The aneurysm is a bulge in an arteriole blood vessel and will not cause damage itself unless it bursts.

Have thick veins all around my fistula, and thick vein on the back of my hand, was advised by a renal doctor not to worry about them, that it was an aneurysm of the fistula, use to be on dialysis, received a kidney transplant nearly a year ago. Am getting a lot of cramps in my hand, where the fistula is located.

Since you have started the Xmas holidays, very difficult to get a surgeon to have a look at it, will have to wait till the first week of new year 2012.

Any suggestions for those cramps in my hand?

Hi there,

I cannot answer the above question but I can provide hope for people and families who may have had a loved one suffer from this.

My father collapsed without warning nearly one year ago and was rushed to Hospital. After an xray it was discovered he had an abdominal aortic aneurysm and had to be operated on immediately if there was any chance of him surviving. We were of course shell shocked. Dad had been up and about and up a ladder only that morning. He was, however, 67 and had smoked most of his life. He was rushed into surgery lasting three hours. The prospects did not look good and we were told to expect the worst.

However, the surgery was sucessful but dad was in Intensive care for nearly 4 weeks with no sign of movement. One Saturday afternoon we visited him and just like that he gained consciousness. It took another few weeks for him to be discharged and about another 8 months for him to get back to normal. By that I mean coming to terms with the emotional aspects of what had happened and waterworks which seemed to be a bit of a problem for a while!. There was no long term speech damage or brain damage.

What Im trying to say is that don,t ever give up hope if you have a loved on in this situation. Some people do make it through.

I believe the code is 433.2.

Open surgical repair or endovascular repair.

Aneurysms that occur in the part of the aorta within the abdomen are called abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Aortic aneurysms are potentially life-threatening conditions.

Yes, abcessed tooth cause heart problem.

This varies greatly depending upon the type of surgery that is done. There are dozens and dozens of different neurosurgical procedures on the brain.

An aortic aneurysm stent graft should last for years without needing to be replaced. This procedure is recommended by doctors and preferred by patients because of its non-evasiveness.

An aneurysm is a weakness in an arterial or venal wall caused by ageing, smoking, genetics, artherosclerosis, vasculitis, high blood pressure etc. Although a blood clot cannot cause an aneurysm it could certainly cause an aneurysm to rupture.

Regardless of aneurysm size, it may or may not rupture. It will rupture any time it wants to, whether it's large or small. I speak from experience. Eleven years ago, I had 2 ruptured aneurysm and was very lucky to have survived it with clipping procedures. 6 months ago, I was diagnosed with a new small .05 mm unruptured aneurysm on the opposite side of the last one. Coiling was not possible cuz of the wide neck of the aneurysm so the clipping was done.

BTW, regardless of the blood pressure level, the aneurysm can also rupture. Just like I said, "any time it wants to". However, the lesser chance of it rupturing if your blood pressure level is controlled. Continuous elevated blood pressure levels will provoke it to rupture. The best way you can do is control your blood pressure levels, stop smoking if you're a smoker, quit alcohol intake, live a healthy lifestyle, maintain a healthy diet, get regular doctor check-ups.

I would like to know the causes of aortic aneurism and if there is something to prevent the disease? thank you

from what I have learned, on average it grows .2 to .4 a year. Given that some do not grow and others grow faster. I have a thoracic ascending aortic aneurysm that has grown from 3.0 (normal) to 4.7. It is checked every year.

Cerebral aneurysms are usually aneurysms we are born with. There are certain conditions, however, that can predispose one to develop aneurysms later in life. Hypertension can cause small aneurysms in the brain stem and midbrain that can bleed - these usually are not able to be seen because they are so small, however. Another possible cause is infections. These aneurysms are called mycotic aneurysms and are the result of infectious material, or emboli, being lodged in the cerebral arteries, causing a localized infection and weakening of the artery walls, leading to aneurysmal formation.

Yes, these types of AAA do occur. Infrarenal AAAs are more easily operable (compartively speaking) than suprarenal AAAs. Infrarenal means that the aneurysm has occured below the level of the renal arteries.
