Repeated Screening for Intracranial Aneurysms in Familial Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Abstract

In persons with familial occurrence of aneurysms, the motivation for repeated screening every 5 years is high and the yield is considerable, particularly in relatives who have been treated for aneurysms in the past. The occurrence of SAH <5 years after a negative screen suggests that screening may have to be repeated at shorter intervals.
