Area of research: There are several processes thought to contribute to the formation of a brain aneurysm, rarely a single process. Some rare connective tissue diseases such as Marfan's or ehlers danlos or kidney diseases like polycystic kidney disease have been strongly correlated. We are actually evaluating the role of hormones. Please feel free to review our guide on aneurysms in women. www.chicagoaneurysm.com.
