The symptoms of a neck aneurysm are confusion, headache, double vision, transient ischemic attack and even stroke like symptoms such as sudden weakness, numbness or paralysis on one side of the body.
The symptoms of a neck aneurysm can vary depending on the location, size and severity of the neck aneurysm.
Neck aneurysms are aneurysms in your carotid artery.
When you have a neck aneurysm you may also experience pain or tenderness in your neck, swelling in your neck and pulsating mass in your neck.
You may also have hoarseness, cough, nausea, vomiting and difficulty swallowing with a neck aneurysm.
Some neck aneurysms don't always cause any symptoms and are often only detected during routine imaging tests.
If you suspect you have a neck aneurysm you should seek immediate medical attention and go to the ER.
If you experience drooping eyelids, extreme sensitivity to light, seizures, loss of consciousness or sudden and severe headaches you should go to the ER.
Some symptoms of a neck aneurysm can also overlap other health conditions so it's important to seek medical attention and see a doctor for diagnoses and treatment.
The survival rate for a neck aneurysm will depend on the type of neck aneurysm, if it's treated and the size.
With prompt medical treatment the survival rate for a neck aneurysm is 90 to 95 percent and the mortality rate for untreated neck aneurysms is 70 percent.
