Because dementia runs in her family, Miller-Rogen explained that she sought a full-body MRI several years ago “to take a deeper look at anything that might be lurking inside me that might affect my longevity.”

At first, Miller-Rogen said, the aneurysm “stayed small.” She later underwent surgery at UCLA to address her condition when doctors noticed last year that her size had increased.
