Guest guest Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 Yesterday we got Ken’s radiology reports from his evaluation. I didn’t doubt the doctor’s report, just wanted to see with my own eyes. He does have 3 aneurysms in his splenic artery. The largest measures 1.0cm, an adjacent one measures 7mm, the third they think measures up to 1.0cm. The report says he has “marked tortuosity of the splenic artery”. Will this twisting of his artery put him at a higher risk for those aneurysms rupturing? The report also says they found Gamna-Gandy bodies within the splenic parenchyma. Do the infarcts impact the aneurysms or the other way around? From what little I have read is that sometimes they can save a portion of the spleen, but given all this – is it possible in Ken’s case? Thank you for always being there for us, don’t know what we would do without you! Barb in Texas - Together in the Fight, Whatever it Takes!
