A member asked:

What is the pattern of inheritance in familial intracranial aneurysms? is it usually present in every generation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Intracranial aneurys: Prevalence in theus is21, 000 to 33, 000 new cases each year. Predominant age is 4-7th decades of life. Sex is females greater than males and blacks greater than whites. One in every stroke is caused by a intracranial aneurysm. I know of no exact inheritable figures available. Weak tissues are associated with the aneurysms. They are: poly cystic kidneys, fibromuscular dysplasia, and elasticum.
