Location, interaction, and anticipation of aneurysm formation

Abstract

It is well established that family members of those individuals with intracranial aneurysm are at high risk of intracranial aneurysms. In the past several years, more information on the heritability of location, familial susceptibility to cigarette smoking, and whether anticipation of aneurysm formation has been published. We review these three topics in detail and summarize what we gathered from this information. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Wien.
