Comment on Sudden Death Due to Rupture of the Right Internal Carotid Artery in Neurofibromatosis Type 1 by Liang et al.

We read with great interest the recently published case report by Liang et al. describing a 42-year-old man affected by neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1), who suddenly expired due to rupture of the right internal carotid artery wall infiltrated by neurofibromatous tissue [1]. The authors continue to make substantial contributions regarding the NF-1 to the literature by providing this compelling case report. However, one critical issue not specifically discussed in the article is NF-1 and its vascular complications during pregnancy.
