Kirsten Storms Says Brain Aneurysm Coiling Set Within Two Weeks

She disclosed the plan after a January scan detected the aneurysm during monitoring of a cyst left from her 2021 surgery.

Overview

  • The General Hospital actress announced on Instagram that her endovascular coiling procedure is being scheduled within roughly two weeks.
  • Doctors found the right‑sided aneurysm during a January follow‑up, and a catheter study from her leg to her brain confirmed an atypical configuration that was not coiled at that time.
  • She remains on hiatus from the ABC soap and relocated from Los Angeles to Nashville, a move she linked to health considerations and a very small cyst seen on her brain stem in January.
  • Her role has been temporarily covered, and she has previously suggested she could return in November or December, though timing remains uncertain.
  • Storms publicly denied a false online claim that she had attempted suicide and said she is leaning on friend and former costar Emme Rylan for support as they spend time crocheting while she awaits surgery.
