| Popis: | Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) is a rare disease known to cause vascular fragility. A case of a 59-year-old man with NF who had ruptures in three different arteries within a month is presented. The first rupture occurred in the right renal artery and was treated using a stent graft and embolization coils. The second and third ruptures occurred in an artery that had been compressed by a hematoma formed during the first bleed; both were embolized. In patients with NF-1, blood vessel fragility must be considered in treatment selection, especially when performing surgery or other invasive procedures near the great vessels. |
