It's very treatable, though pretty invasive surgery to undertake depending on how big it gets and where it's located exactly (don't youtube it, whatever you do!)
I, too, find that 1 year wait for any type of aneurism to be absurd. A good family friend of mine had a brain aneurism pop on her, was not a pleasant experience. She's perfectly fine now though and miraculously, her life-long migraines are now gone.
4.5cms seems kinda big...

I just got news of the condition last night - so haven't checked out any forums (yet)...but that'll be my next move. So far all I've checked out is wikipedia - but didn't get much optimism from what I've read.
4.5cms is considered a big aneurism - but according to wikipedia 5-5.5cms becomes the point at which corrective surgery is considered less risky than no surgery. The difference of only 1cm seems damn small to me - which is why it puzzles me about the 1 year timeframe before the next check-up.
