Kirsten Storms Says Brain Aneurysm Is in 'Gray Zone,' Weighs Surgery as She Teases General Hospital Return

Doctors told the actress the aneurysm is not an immediate danger, leaving her to choose between continued monitoring or an endovascular coiling.

Overview

  • In a December 22 Instagram update, Storms said a new St. Louis neurosurgeon classified her case as in a clinical “gray zone” where surgery is not mandatory.
  • She is considering surveillance versus coiling and noted she is reluctant to undergo another procedure right now.
  • A follow-up scan in January found a right-sided aneurysm after her 2021 craniotomy, and an attempted coiling earlier this year was unsuccessful.
  • Storms has been on leave from General Hospital since July after relocating to Nashville with her daughter and publicly thanked the show and network for supporting her hiatus.
  • Producers have kept Maxie Jones offscreen with a medical-absence storyline, and Storms hinted fans may see her back in Port Charles soon.
