A Patient with Cervical Vertebral Arteriovenous Fistula Which Manifested as Radiculopathy: A Case Complicated by Neurofibromatosis Type 1

Objective: In this report, we describe a case of cervical vertebral arteriovenous fistula (AVF) associated with neurofibromatosis type 1(NF1) presented as radiculopathy. Case Presentation: A 65-year-old female patient diagnosed with left cervical vertebral artery lesion-like aneurysms and NF1 incidentally. After 5 years, she presented with neck pain and left upper weakness. Examinations revealed left vertebral AVF. Endovascular therapy was performed and her symptoms were improved. Conclusion: Endovascular therapy should be performed if asymptomatic cervical vertebral aneurysms associated with NF1 are growing or become symptomatic.
