Ruptured aneurysm of intercostal arteriovenous malformation associated with neurofibromatosis type 1: a case report

Hyung Jun Kim et al. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 2011 Feb.

Abstract

Intercostal arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are rare, with most being secondary to trauma or iatrogenic therapeutic procedures. Only one case of presumably congenital AVM has been reported. Here we report the first case of a ruptured aneurysm of intercostal AVM associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 in a 32-year-old woman who experienced hypovolemic shock caused by massive hemothorax.
