Low in most cases...: Unless you have a known history of peripheral vascular disease or one of the many other causes of aneurysms (polycystic kidney disease or other connective tissue disorders) the likelihood of another aneurysm is quite low.

Not a usual relation: Aneurysms in knee and groin vessles can be associated with abdominal aneurysms. Aneurysms that just happen to occur in the head are not usually predictive of aneurysms elsewhere.
