The association of intracranial aneurysm (ICA) and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney
disease (ADPKD) has been known for many years. Its prevalence has only been estimated
reliably over the past decade, thanks to the development of noninvasive detection
techniques, mainly magnetic resonance (MR) angiography. A prevalence of 8% of
asymptomatic ICA has been derived from three prospective series totaling 266 patients (1–
4), ie, a rate four to five times above that found in the general population (5). Although this …
