Neurofibromatosis associated with vascular disorders is generally known as a vascular neurofibromatosis. In the neurosurgical aspect, it has been pointed out that "moyamoya disease" -like stenosis and/or occlusion of the internal carotid artery are seen in some of the patients with neurofibromatosis. This 58-year-old female with multiple café-au-lait spots and neurofibromas all over the body was admitted to our hospital with complaints of left orbital tumor and tinnitus. She had been suffering from the left intraorbital neurofibroma since ten years of age. Radiological examinations revealed left intraorbital neurofibroma extending into the intracranial cavity, multiple aneurysms and arteriovenous fistula. The aneurysms were located at the left vertebral-posterior interior cerebellar artery junction and at the extracranial internal carotid artery. The arterio-venous fistula was demonstrated at the left extracranial vertebral artery. Pathological changes of the blood vessels in the vascular neurofibromatosis are essentially obstructive lesions due to intimal thickening. Only few cases of neurofibromatosis associated with aneurysms and arteriovenous fistula have been reported, and eleven cases of them could be reviewed in the literature. Six are with intracranial aneurysms, two with extracranial aneurysms and three with extracranial vertebral arteriovenous fistula,. It is interesting that in all cases the extracranial vertebral arteriovenous fistula are located on the left side. This is corresponding to the fact that the bone defect around the asterion is predominantly seen on the left side in cases of neurofibromatosis.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009456 Neurofibromatosis 1 An autosomal dominant inherited disorder (with a high frequency of spontaneous mutations) that features developmental changes in the nervous system, muscles, bones, and skin, most notably in tissue derived from the embryonic NEURAL CREST. Multiple hyperpigmented skin lesions and subcutaneous tumors are the hallmark of this disease. Peripheral and central nervous system neoplasms occur frequently, especially OPTIC NERVE GLIOMA and NEUROFIBROSARCOMA. NF1 is caused by mutations which inactivate the NF1 gene (GENES, NEUROFIBROMATOSIS 1) on chromosome 17q. The incidence of learning disabilities is also elevated in this condition. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1014-18) There is overlap of clinical features with NOONAN SYNDROME in a syndrome called neurofibromatosis-Noonan syndrome. Both the PTPN11 and NF1 gene products are involved in the SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION pathway of Ras (RAS PROTEINS).

D002532 Intracranial Aneurysm Abnormal outpouching in the wall of intracranial blood vessels. Most common are the saccular (berry) aneurysms located at branch points in CIRCLE OF WILLIS at the base of the brain. Vessel rupture results in SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Giant aneurysms (>2.5 cm in diameter) may compress adjacent structures, including the OCULOMOTOR NERVE.

D001165 Arteriovenous Malformations Abnormal formation of blood vessels that shunt arterial blood directly into veins without passing through the CAPILLARIES. They usually are crooked, dilated, and with thick vessel walls. A common type is the congenital arteriovenous fistula. The lack of blood flow and oxygen in the capillaries can lead to tissue damage in the affected areas. Arteriovenous Malformation,Malformation, Arteriovenous,Malformations, Arteriovenous
