Abstract:
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating event with significant morbidity and mortality. The incidence of SAH might be influenced by environmental factors but genetic predisposition is evolving as an important effector in the risk of development of intracranial aneurysms and rupture of aneurysms. This requires strategies for effective screening of family members at risk of developing such a phenotype, in order to deliver preventive treatment to these target lesions. We discuss the potential for implementing these strategies in the Saudi Arabian health system and the future implications on our care for such a vulnerable group of subjects.
