Maybe: Screening may help you. There is no consensus. Discuss screening with your doctor. If it really bothers you get screened. Check out brainaneurysm.Com for info.

Probably not: Brain aneurysms are usually acquired, and peak incidence for rupture is in the early 50s. Very unusual in the 20s, even with a family history. Perhaps by the time you are in your mid thirties, if there are two first degree relatives with brain aneurysms, would screening be recommended. Please refer to the brain aneurysm center for women for more details. Chicagoaneurysm.Com.
