Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder with a variety of symptoms, affecting mainly the skin and nervous system. Cerebrovascular abnormalities are becoming a recognized complication of the disease and the most constantly described lesions are stenosis and occlusions affecting the internal carotid artery. VBD has rarely been associated with NF1. We report a 38-year-old female patient with HFS produced by VBD with NF1 presenting with other cerebrovascular abnormalities associated with this disease. We discuss the possible association between these three entities, assuming that a causal relationship may be established and that VBD is part of the spectrum of vascular abnormalities caused by NF1 in this patient.Tipo de ítem | Ubicación actual | Signatura | Estado | Fecha de vencimiento |
