Abstract

The occurrence of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and intracranial aneurysms (IAs) in the same patient and in the same family was studied among 89 patients with AAAs and 485 patients with IAs. Among the AAA-patients two had IAs themselves and five had IAs in the family, whereas three IA-patients had AAAs themselves and eight had AAAs in the family. Moreover, one of the patients with both AAA and IA had a blood relative with AAA, and in six of the families with both types of aneurysms there were more than two subjects with aneurysms. The results indicate, that AAAs and IAs may have a common aetiologic factor.
