In this particular case, the authors have studied a family in wich two of the members on the same genetic line-mother and daughter have suffered intracranial bleeding from ruptured aneurysm. The congenital nature and the patterns of inheritance of the disease are discussed. The indications for elective investigation of the asymptomatic relatives and surgical prophylaxis on asymptomatic aneurysms are also discussed. Material and method: Two cases, same hereditary line, same nosocomial pattern, rare case of multiple intracranial aneuysms. Surgical treatment of ruptured and unruptered aneurysm, same part, same time. Results: Operated pacient done well without neurological deficits after one year. Conclusions: Making good judgment based on complete investigations lead to a good aoutcome. Further investigations on family hereditary aneurismal lesions should be perform.
