Clicking Noise in Head
This commonly occurs when you position your head in different ways.
While alarming, there is no need to be concerned. This is the bone healing
and a normal part of the recovery process. The clicking goes away after
several weeks.
Seizures
Seizures may occur at the time of aneurysm rupture or sometimes as a result
of surgery on certain parts of the brain. Your neurosurgeon may put you on
an anti-seizure medication in the hospital. In certain cases your doctor will
have you continue this medicine after you go home. If there are no further
seizures, the medicine is usually continued for only a short time. If you are on
anti-seizure medicine, it is important that you take the medicine as prescribed.
ENDOVASCULAR TREATMENT
Issues after endovascular treatment (also called embolization) may include:
Groin Pain
There may be bruising and discomfort where the catheter was inserted in the
groin. You should avoid strenuous activity and hot baths for one week after
treatment. A hematoma (hard large blood clot) can develop at the site. Should
this happen, or if there is increased pain or swelling in the area, contact the
doctor who performed the procedure.
Hair Loss
Radiation or the contrast dye used during the procedure can occasionally
result in hair loss. This usually only affects a small area and is temporary —
the hair will grow back. Keep in mind that stress and medicines can also
cause temporary hair loss.
