Myocardial infarction in a child with multiple coronary aneurysms and neurofibromatosis type 1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 August 2020
Abstract
Vascular involvement in neurofibromatosis type 1 has been described, although coronary artery disease is rare. Data about clinical presentation and natural history are anecdotal. This is the first case of myocardial infarction due to coronary aneurysms in a 13-year-old boy with neurofibromatosis type 1. We discuss pathophysiology, diagnostic images, and therapeutic management of this rare association.
