As part of Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month in September 2022, the US-based Brain Aneurysm Foundation recorded this webinar for people affected by familial aneurysms syndrome.
If you or a loved one has a family history of intracranial aneurysms, it's important to know what this means for you and other family members. In this video, Christine Buckley, Executive Director of the Brain Aneurysm Foundation talks to Dr. Alejandro Spiotta from MUSC Health about the risks associated with familial aneurysms and what can be done to help prevent them from rupturing.
Brain aneurysm survivors Diann Harrell and Debra Taylor are sisters who join the conversation with their personal experiences, journey through treatment and recovery and struggles to get other family members scanned.
If you're worried about how hereditary brain aneurysms, known as familial aneurysm syndrome, may affect you or someone close to you, we have a list of FAQs and resources on our Information and Support page.
And if you'd like to support others affected and join the HBA Support community, email David, Marketing and Community Manager, david@hbasupport.org to find out more.
