Abstract
- Intracranial aneurysms are usually regarded as congenital in origin but their etiology is unknown. The occurrence of familial aggregation of intracranial aneurysm is rare but well documented, and suggests a hereditary basis for some intracranial aneurysms. We experienced two cases of intracranial aneurysm in monozygotic twin brothers and reviewed literatures.
