Overview

First-degree relatives screening is recommend in individuals with a positive family history of subarachnid hemorrhage or cerebral aneurysm in more than two family members.[1][2] However, screening is not recommend in individuals with only one affected first-degree relative.[3] Additionally, screening is recommend in the patient with heritable conditions such as Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), glucocorticoid remediable hyperaldosteronism (GRA), and connective tissue diseases. [4][5][6]

Screening

First degree relatives screening

The risk of having subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is much higher in individuals with a positive family history of first degree relatives with cerebral aneurysm compare to the general population and aneurysms tend to rupture at a smaller size and younger age than sporadic aneurysms.[7][8] This risk of aneurysm is also influenced by other risk factors such as cigarette smoking and hypertension.[9] The mode of inheritance can be variable, with autosomal dominant, recessive, and multifactorial transmission.

  • First-degree relatives screening is recommend in individuals with a positive family history of subarachnid hemorrhage or cerebral aneurysm in more than two family members.[1][2]
  • Screening is not recommend in individuals with only one affected first-degree relative.[3]

Heritable conditions screening

Time of screening

Familiar:[7]

  • Siblings often experience rupture in the same decade of life. It is not likely that individuals develop SAH at younger ages than previous generations

Heritable:[10]

  • Aneurysm rupture in ADPKD most often occurs before the age of 50 and in patients with poorly controlled hypertension

Screening test

  • MRA (identify aneurysms 3 to 5 mm or larger)[11][12][13]
  • CTA (miss aneurysms smaller than 3 mm, also may have false positive results)[14]
