A member asked:
My sister says she has cavernous sinus aneurysm. are family members more likely to get the same thing?

Maybe: Cerebral aneurysms can be hereditary. If more than one person in your family has an aneurysm you are at increased risk. If people in your family have polycystic kidney disease or elhers-danlos syndrome you are at significant risk. Mra and cta are good screening tools.
