Abstract
We report the finding of multiple cerebral aneurysms in a pair of iden tical twins. One twin had subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracerebral he matoma; her sister had subarachnoid hemorrhage and intraventricular bl eeding. Angiography in both cases showed multiple cerebral aneurysms. It is appropriate to recommend a cerebral angiographic examination of an asymptomatic twin after the other twin has suffered an aneurysmal s ubarachnoid hemorrhage.
