Risk Of Rupture

We describe a 54-year-old man with neurofibromatosis type 1 who presented with a left-sided neck mass. Computed tomography demonstrated a left common carotid artery aneurysm (51 × 33 mm). Surgery was performed because of the risk of rupture. The left common carotid artery was found to be a huge aneurysmal dilatation, and the arterial wall partially collapsed and extensively adherent to the surrounding tissues. Left common carotid artery to internal carotid artery bypass grafting was performed with a reversed saphenous vein graft. Histopathological examination revealed vascular fragility of the left carotid arterial wall.

Abstract Neurofibromatosis is of particular interest to neurosurgeons because of the various central and peripheral nervous system tumors and, more rarely, cervicocerebral arterial lesions associated with the disease. In the present paper, we report two patients with neurofibromatosis Type 1 (von Recklinghausen's disease) who had anomalies of the extracranial vertebral arteries. A large extracranial vertebral artery' aneurysm was incidentally discovered in the first patient, a 43-year-old woman, after rupture of a subclavian artery aneurysm. The second patient, a 28-year-old woman, had an enlarging neck mass and was found to have an extensive extracranial vertebral artery arteriovenous fistula. The vascular lesions associated with neurofibromatosis Type 1 in general and those arising from the extracranial vertebral artery in particular are reviewed.

Abstract OBJECTIVE Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) is known to be associated with vascular lesions. Association with an extracranial vertebral artery aneurysm is very rare. We report the case of such an aneurysm mimicking a cervical neurofibroma in NF1. CLINICAL PRESENTATION An 18-year-old woman with previously diagnosed NF1 presented with a C6 radiculopathy. There were no clinical features suggesting a vascular origin for the lesion. The computed tomographic and standard magnetic resonance imaging scans showed a C5–C6 contrast-enhancing lesion responsible for bony erosion. Subsequent, magnetic resonance angiography and digital subtraction angiography diagnosed the lesion as a C5–C6 vertebral artery aneurysm. INTERVENTION The lesion was treated by endovascular occlusion of both the aneurysm and the parent vertebral artery with an initial immediate disappearance of the pain. CONCLUSION This case serves as a reminder of the importance of ruling out a vertebral artery aneurysm with angiography when managing cervical lesions in patients with NF1.
