Abstract
Intracranial aneurysms are a common lesion ranging from 1% to 5%
and a major cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage with high rates of morbidity and
mortality. With this catastrophic scenario, efforts must be directed to improve
diagnosis and treatment. Molecular biology of intracranial aneurysms advanced a
lot in the last years, improving our understand of their etiology, natural
history, and specially, potential targets to be explored in prevention and
treatment. In this study, we briefly review molecular biology of intracranial
aneurysms and their potential clinical implications.
