Successful treatment of a ruptured left internal mammary artery aneurysm with a delayed diagnosis of Type I neurofibromatosis

Neurofibromatosis type I (NF-1) induced vasculopathy is rare but catastrophic complication after aneurysmal rupture. We present the case of a 55-year-old female who developed hypovolemic shock because of left internal mammary artery (IMA) pseudoaneurysm rupture associated with NF-1. Even she was not detected NF-1 at the time of arrival in emergency room. We decided to perform percutaneous embolization instead of surgical approach. In this case, after intervention, the ruptured left IMA aneurysm was well treated. After 10 days, the patient discharged without any complications.
