Traumatic arteriovenous fistula of the superficial temporal artery caused by massive subcutaneous hematoma prompting surgical removal and endovascular treatment in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1
Surgical hematoma removal followed by endovascular treatment was effective in preserving visual function. Since vessel fragility is characteristic of patients with NF-1, it should be kept in mind that vascular complications may lead to serious clinical outcomes. In certain NF-1 cases, less invasive treatments for vascular abnormalities may be preferable.
