Abstract
The article presents information about a family history of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). Individuals most at risk of aneurysmal SAH are those with a family history of at least two first-degree relatives with an SAH. CT angiography and MR angiogrpahy, performed and reported by experts can reliably detect aneursyms larger than 5 mm. Treatment risk rise with age and also depend on the site and size of aneursym. In patients with no prior history of SAH, risk benefit analysis favors treatment in people who are less than fifty years of age. The role of coiling as opposed to clipping in the treatment of unruptured aneurysms is promising.
