[Two cases of subarachnoid hemorrhage associated with neurofibromatosis type I: a case of multiple cerebral aneurysms and arteriovenous malformation, and another case of an anterior communicating artery aneurysm].

: Two cases of subarachnoid hemorrhage associated with neurofibromatosis type I (von Recklinghausen's disease) are reported. A 30-year-old male patient (case 1) had been diagnosed as having neurofibromatosis type I due to neurofibroma and cafe-au-lait spot. He suffered from subarachnoid hemorrhage and angiography showed multiple aneurysms in the right and left middle cerebral arteries and left internal carotid artery. He also had arteriovenous malformation in the left temporal lobe. Case 2 was that of a 62-year-old female patient with neurofibroma and cafe-au-lait spot. She suffered from subarachnoid hemorrhage and angiography showed an aneurysm in the anterior communicating artery. Both patients were discharged with no deficits after neck clipping, however they both suffered from large-sized hematoma in the punctured site of the femoral artery after angiography. The cerebral aneurysms associated with neurofibromatosis type I are often multiple and may coexist with arteriovenous malformation.
