Extracranial Thrombosed Vertebral Aneurysm Associated Neurofibromatosis Type1 Treated by Neuroendovascular Coil Embolization: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Clin Case Rep. 2025 Jan 2;13(1):e70066. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.70066. eCollection 2025 Jan.

Abstract

A 46-year-old NF1 patient with sudden visual disturbance had a thrombotic vertebral artery aneurysm causing cerebral infarction. Endovascular internal trapping was performed successfully, with complete recovery and no neurological deficits. Although this is a rare case, it suggests that endovascular therapy could be successful for vascular lesions complicated by NF1.
