ABSTRACT
Vascular involvement is a rare and life threatening complication of type I neurofibromatosis. A twenty-eight years old female with a family history of type I neurofibromatosis had sudden onset of upper back pain and dyspnea. Chest CT showed right massive hemothorax with aneurysmal rupture of the intercostal artery. She underwent an emergency operation on unstable hemodynamic status. We report a case of surgical treatment of spontaneous hemothorax in a patient with type I neurofibromatosis.
