[Heredity in intracranial aneurysms (a study of identical twins)].
The study of identical twins revealed an important role of hereditary factors in the development of cerebral aneurysms. The "weakness" of connective tissue, caused by some genetic (or polygenic) defects, concurrent with several acquired conditions (essential hypertension, connective tissue disorders) leads to the development and rupture of cerebral aneurysms.
