Hi, thanks for your query.
You have 2. symptomatic uncultured aneurysms.
According to literature these should not be clipped as
They should be managed with serial follow up.
If aneurysms are ruptured the it is emergency and should be clipped.
If they are in ruptured then they will not cause any problems unless increase in size.
Thanks
