Arterial hypoplasia in neurofibromatosis 1 / L.N. Rossi, A. Costantini, E. Fossali, A. Selicorni, L. Menegazzo. - In: THE ITALIAN JOURNAL OF PEDIATRICS. - ISSN 1720-8424. - 33:2(2007), pp. 115-117.
Abstract:
We describe the case of a 14-year-old boy with neurofibromatosis 1, associated with multiple
abnormalities on the right side, namely hypoplasia of both limbs with long bone malformations, hypoplasia of the iliac, femoral and popliteal arteries without hemodynamic
abnormalities, and stenosis of the renal artery which, later, evolved into hypertension. This
case, similarly to another one reported, underlines the need to evaluate the vessels in patients with neurofibromatosis 1 and limb asymmetry.
