Abstract

A 25-year-old male with neurofibromatosis type 1 presented with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Coronary imaging revealed an aberrant right coronary anatomy, ectatic coronary arteries, and significant stenosis. Based on previous literature and clinical presentation, this case highlights the potential role of neurofibromatosis in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease.<br />Competing Interests: The authors have reported that they have no relationships relevant to the contents of this paper to disclose.<br /> (© 2024 The Authors.)
