Intracranial aneurysmal hemorrhage is a common but devastating condition associatedwithsignificant morbidity and mortality. Epidemiologic studies have identified risk factors associated with this condition. Genetic factors involve family history and the presence of certain heritable connective tissue disorders such as EhlersDanlos syndrome, Marfan's syndrome, neurofibromatosis, and polycystic kidney disease. Acquired factors include traumatic brain injury, sepsis, smoking, and hypertension. Management of these patients consists of prevention, patient screening, and prophylactic aneurysm repair. |
