Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, I noticed that my relative, my uncle, wasn't walking very agilely, and he also frequently experienced headaches. To my surprise, he was later diagnosed with a vertebral artery aneurysm. How should this condition be treated?Doctor's answer:
For people with vertebral artery aneurysms, there are two treatment methods. The first is conservative treatment. This is mainly seen in two situations. The second is that the aneurysm is relatively small, and the third is that the aneurysm is not suitable for surgical treatment. In this case, it is important to control blood pressure, control heart rate, and increase the pressure of blood on the aneurysm. If there are surgical indications, surgical treatment should be given. After surgery, pay attention to rest, and the diet should be light.
