Neurologist,  's  Response
In all likelihood the after effects of anesthesia..... also possible would be swelling in the brain around the area of the surgery. These symptoms are likely being monitored by nursing and if they reach a certain severity level the surgeon will be notified. Otherwise, she'll get better in the next 24-48 hrs. The other possibility is that because of the aneurysm surgery itself there may've been a bit of a bleed perioperatively (during the procedure) or a bit postoperatively (after the surgery) and the expanding lesion or increasing pressure inside the head is causing the nauesa/vomiting. So long as symptoms aren't really marching upward and becoming more intense she should be fine.
