    Abstract:
    Type 1 neurofibromatosis is the most common of all the phakomatosis. It is a hereditary neurocutaneous syndrome that may involve any organ or system of the body. Central nervous system lesions are frequent and dominated by neoplasms and nonneoplastic hamartomatous lesions. Craniocerebral vascular abnormalities are relatively rare, most often occlusive or stenotic. The occurring of intracranial aneurysms during the neurofibromatosis type 1 gives rise to the question of the fortuitous aspect or not of this association, especially as the quasi-totality of the reported aneurysms in the literature are sacciform and most often unique. We report an original case of ectasic diffuse vasculopathy of the cerebral arteries associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 in a 43-year-old man presented with seizures.
