Radial artery aneurysm in a case of neurofibromatosis

Neurofibromatosis-1 with bilateral partial radial artery stenosis

“…[9] Radial artery aneurysm has been described earlier. [10] We are reporting radial artery stenosis which has not been reported earlier. A CT angiogram would give a better insight.…”

Aneurisma verdadeiro da artéria radial: relato de caso

“…Os raros casos de aneurisma da artéria radial descritos na literatura estão relacionados com punção e/ou cateterismo arterial e associados a doenças como neurofibromatose, anemia severa e doença de Buerger [6][7][8] .…”

Spontaneous Rupture of the Left Subclavian Artery in Neurofibromatosis

“…While aneurysms are less common, there are reports of these in the left thyrocervical trunk, vertebral artery, left subclavian artery, lumbar artery, radial artery, coronary artery, and arc of Buhler. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] The pathology of vascular lesions was first described by Reubi in 1944, who divided them into three types: an intimal form (intimal proliferation occluding the vascular lumen), an aneurysmal form (fibrohyaline thickening of the intima with fragmentation of the muscularis and elastica), and a nodular form (spindle or epithelioid cells disturbing the integrity of the vessels wall). Salyer and Salyer proposed that the pathogenesis of all arterial lesions involves the proliferation of Schwann cells with secondary degenerative changes.…”
