see link: From www.Bafound.Org--"if two or more members of the family are affected with brain aneurysms, then aneurysm screening (with brain mra or brain cta) is usually recommended for at least the first degree relatives over the age of 25 of those affected." not usually recommended for single instance.

No: Most aneurysms are sporadic and don't run in families. If two or more first degree relatives have aneurysms, then we recommend screening the family.
