Ultrastructural Connective Tissue Aberrations in Patients With Intracranial Aneurysms

Abstract

Connective tissue alterations were found in skin biopsies from a minority of patients with intracranial aneurysms. Electron microscopic investigation of skin biopsies from patients and their relatives might become valuable for clinical diagnostics, identification of persons at risk, and basic studies of the pathogenesis of this vascular disease.
