brain aneurysm and MS

Hi! Im 34 years old. I was officially diagnosed with RRMS two months ago even though the symptoms started 10 years ago. I was not particularly shocked as I knew something was wrong with my nerves. I ignored the disease until I got optic neuritis for the second time and started limping. In addition to new lesions, two brain aneurysms were found on the MRI scan- one of them will need surgery, as there is a high probability that it will rupture. I’m afraid of the consequences of surgery and how it will affect my MS. Does anyone have experience with a brain aneurysm clipping surgery??

@Vili , I'm sorry that you have so much to deal with. Regrettably, questions about MS, yes, but, brain surgery....... I did find this quote from a medical document:- "What is the success rate of brain aneurysm surgery? One hundred forty-three (96.62%) aneurysms were successfully clipped, and 3.37% were either wrapped or later coiled. Surgical-related mortality was 0.82% (1 patient because of air embolism)." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16462473/ Good luck.
