Should We Screen for Familial Intracranial Aneurysm? Stroke 30:312-316, Crawley,F.,et al, 1999 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Screening 1000 individuals on 3 occasions with MRA and DSA alone followed by surgery resulted in poor outcome in 14 and 18 individuals, respectively, over 30 years. Without screening, poor outcome occurred in 15 individuals over the same period of time. Screening is not an effective way of reducing morbidity and mortality from ruptured intracranial aneurysm in individuals with a history of >/= affected first degree relatives with ruptured intracranial aneurysm unless the expected incidence of asymptomatic aneurysm is considerably less than 10%.
