2002, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Cases detailing neurofibromatous involvement of the adventitia of blood vessels have also been published [3]. Because neurofibromatosis is a disorder characterized by tumor formation in tissues of neural crest origin and because cells contributing to vascular smooth muscle proliferation in the aorta and its branches are derived from neural crest, it has been suggested that blood vessels may express the NF1 mutation [4]. If this is indeed the case, abnormal proliferation of neural crest cells could account for blood vessel degeneration [1] and subsequent hemorrhage.
