He finds that her kidneys are about 4 times larger than normal and appear to have numerous fluid filled cysts noted. At this point he asks BOTH sisters to see a nephrologist and to be scheduled for MRI’s of the kidneys. The MRI showed that Jackie’s kidneys were indeed larger and filled with cysts. Jane’s kidneys were somewhat larger than normal, and no cysts were present at this time. The sisters went to see the nephrologists who requested that they have MRI’s of the brain and an echocardiogram. Jane’s MRI and echocardiogram were normal. Jackie’s brain MRI and echocardiogram were not. Jackie had a cerebral angiogram that followed which confirmed complications of her disease process, an Intracranial aneurysm and Mitral regurgitation. Jackie undergoes a procedure called Coil Embolization Therapy to resolve the aneurysm. 1. What is an Intracranial aneurysm ? How does Coil Embolization Therapy resolve the problem.? Please be specific of the procedure. 2. What is Mitral Valve Prolapse and how will it affect Jackie’s health care needs before procedures in the future? 3. What education is needed to be shared with these sisters related to their children having this condition in the future?
