The following information was reported: INTRACRANIAL ANEURYSM (medically significant) with onset 09Nov2022, outcome "unknown", described as "aneurysm, fusiform aneurysm on the mid left intracranial vertebral artery"; DIZZINESS (non-serious) with onset 14Oct2022, outcome "unknown", described as "Dizzy"; VISION BLURRED (non-serious) with onset 14Oct2022, outcome "unknown", described as "room got a little blurry"; PANIC ATTACK (non-serious) with onset 14Oct2022, outcome "unknown", described as "room got a little blurry and the room started spinning / thought she was having a really bad panic attack"; VERTIGO (non-serious) with onset 14Oct2022, outcome "unknown", described as "room started spinning / thought she might have had vertigo". The events "aneurysm, fusiform aneurysm on the mid left intracranial vertebral artery", "dizzy", "room got a little blurry", "room started spinning / thought she might have had vertigo" and "room got a little blurry and the room started spinning / thought she was having a really bad panic attack" required physician office visit. The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: Blood test: (unspecified date) Unknown results; Computerised tomogram: (09Nov2022) aneurysm: 5 millimeters, notes: CAT scan with contrast; Electrocardiogram: (unspecified date) Unknown results; Magnetic resonance imaging head: (09Nov2022) aneurysm, notes: fusiform aneurysm on the mid left intracranial vertebral artery; 7mm; Vascular test: (unspecified date) Unknown results. Therapeutic measures were not taken as a result of intracranial aneurysm. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of dizziness, vision blurred, vertigo, panic attack. Clinical course: It was reported that the patient received a COVID booster and she was a retired communicable disease specialist for a state. Stated that she believes in vaccines (that first). She received COVID booster on 04Oct. On 14Oct, she was at a hospital and just sitting there and waiting for her husband and all of a sudden, she felt dizzy, the room got a little blurry and the room started spinning. She thought she was having a really bad panic attack but with her dad that was on a Friday she saw a nurse practitioner then following week she thought she might have had vertigo. Gave her physical therapy, then at physical therapy she had another attack of the room spinning and feeling off balance, again thought it was a panic attack. She went to her actual physician, not her nurse practitioner, she went at the carotid artery study and MRI of her brain, and she has aneurysm, fusiform aneurysm on the mid left intracranial vertebral artery. Last Sunday, she had the worst attack ever it felt like she was on an amusement ride and things were spinning very fast. So, they don't know if that was associated with the aneurysm. She still has not gone to talk to aneurysm doctor. On Wednesday, it was 7 millimeters on the MRI and 5 millimeters on the CAT scan with contrast. She stated: "Well no, I wanted to report it I am getting to report to report it to CDC, the minister of the department of the town because I think that there have been some issues with the aneurysm with the vaccine and I just wanted to make sure that somebody also has the problem after receiving the vaccine I never has problem before end." The patient didn't get any treatment after that after she had the symptoms, she got the MRI. She got the Carotid artery test, she got blood work, she got an EKG and now, she will be at the Interventional neuro radiologist. She has the first counsel with him on Wednesday.
