Spontaneous aortic rupture in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1

Abstract

Neurofibromatosis type I (NF-1) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder occurring in 1 in 3,000 individuals. Vasculopathy is a rarely reported finding in patients with NF-1. Here, we report a case of recurrent aortic pseudoaneurysm after endovascular aneurysm repair in a 49-year-old male patient with NF-1. On the sixth postoperative day following a successful open surgical repair of an aortic pseudoaneurysm, he developed hemoperitoneum due to a delayed rupture of the mesenteric artery branch. This was treated with endovascular coil embolization. We report the clinical features and histologic findings of this rare vascular disorder with a review of the relevant literature.

Endovascular treatment for a ruptured lumbar artery aneurysm in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1

“… 8 , 9 Because of the less direct intervention with EVAR compared with open surgery, EVAR can prevent vascular fragility-related complications. However, studies have reported vascular fragility-related complications in patients who underwent EVAR, including ulceration of the intima, 8 distal end perforation of the stent graft, 10 and formation of a secondary aneurysm. 4 , 9 , 11 Therefore, the size of the stent graft should be carefully chosen.…”

“…NF-1 is occurs in 1 in 3,000 individuals and has been associated with vasculopathy [9–11]. The renal artery is more frequently involved and presents as renovascular hypertension.…”
