Brain Aneurysm fact day 8 : Accurate early diagnosis is critical, as the initial hemorrhage may be fatal, may result in devastating neurologic outcomes, or may produce minor symptoms. Despite widespread neuroimaging availability, misdiagnosis or delays in diagnosis occurs in up to 25% of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) when initially presenting for medical treatment. Failure to do a scan results in 73% of these misdiagnoses. This makes SAH a low-frequency, high-risk disease. Collin fact: Collin was on medications for ADHD and had to do blood work and a EKG and even a chest x ray to make sure he was healthy enough to take the medication... I wish they would have felt the need for a MRI, or a cat scan..both of those test would have caught Collins aneurysm.
