My mom has an 8mm brain aneurysm on the left side but she's totally fine walks 2km daily and does all her housework. The doctor recommended clipping surgery, but since she has no symptoms now, I'm worried about the risks and success rate. Should we go ahead with the surgery?

Whether to proceed with surgery for an unruptured brain aneurysm, like your mom's 8mm one, is a complex decision. While the aneurysm is currently asymptomatic and your mom is active, the potential for rupture is a significant risk to consider. A ruptured aneurysm can cause a stroke, which can lead to severe neurological damage and long-term complications.
