General Hospital Star Kirsten Storms Says Brain Aneurysm Coiling Planned Within Two Weeks

She says the aneurysm was found during follow-up checks after her 2021 brain cyst surgery.

Overview

  • Storms announced on Instagram that doctors are scheduling an endovascular coiling procedure to treat a right-sided brain aneurysm.
  • She detailed a January study in which clinicians threaded a camera from her leg to her brain, noting the aneurysm was not coiled at that time because it was “not typical.”
  • The actress explained that she relocated to Nashville and took a leave from General Hospital, citing stress and a very small new cyst on her brain stem as factors.
  • She rejected an online rumor that a recent hospital stay was due to a suicide attempt and said the visit related to her neurological care.
  • Storms credited close support from friend and former costar Emme Rylan and said they have been crocheting sweaters while she awaits the procedure.
