Anyone who has one or two parents who have had a brain aneurysm should undergo regular screenings. The physician may recommend diagnostic testing to ensure the brain is healthy. He or she may also recommend screening for individuals with congenital health problems that can cause brain aneurysms, such as a default in the brain artery wall or issues with circulation. A CT scan, MRI, cerebrospinal fluid test, and a cerebral angiogram can idenfity an aneurysm.
