ABSTRACT
Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF-1) shows an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance with complete penetrance and variable expression. Vascular abnormalities are frequently associated with NF-1. Pheochromocytoma occurs in 0.1-5.7% of patients with NF-1. Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage in patients with NF-1-related pheochromocytoma is very rare. Herein, we report a case of subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by multiple ruptured cerebral aneurysms in a patient with concurrent NF-1 and pheochromocytoma. Coil embolization of the aneurysms and subsequent adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma were successfully performed, and the patient remained normotensive thereafter. This case demonstrates the importance of a careful search for a remediable cause of episodic hypertension in patients with NF-1, who are predisposed to cerebral hemorrhage from fluctuating blood pressure.
