Description

A 38-year-old female was brought to our emergency department with sudden pain in the left lower-quadrant. Abdominal contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography showed an extravasation from the internal iliac artery （IIA）. The patient was successfully treated with selective coil embolization of the IIA. After discharge, the patient was diagnosed with NF-1. One year after, the patient was brought to our emergency department again with a 3-day history of severe lower abdominal pain. The patient suddenly deteriorated with severe hypotension during a medical examination. An emergency laparotomy was performed and the superior rectal artery （SRA） rupture was revealed. The surgical resection and ligation of the SRA were performed. The patient was recovered without complications and was discharged eleven days later. Patients with NF1 are at increased risk of a variety of vascular abnormalities, which might result in life-threatening artery hemorrhage.
