title: Cerebral aneurysms and accelerated atherosclerosis in Russell-Silver syndrome: a new subtype? Case report.
abstract: The authors describe the case of a 32-year-old woman known to have Russell-Silver syndrome who presented with repeated aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Multiple intracranial aneurysms and advanced peripheral vascular disease were demonstrated. The authors postulate a link between these vascular features and the patient's genetic condition.
