A Case of Acute Exacerbation of Aneurysm Related to von Recklinghausen Disease Because of COVID-19

Abstract

A 55-year-old man with von Recklinghausen disease complained about fever and coughing. We diagnosed him as COVID-19. He admitted our hospital to take injection of antiviral agent. Day 5 of hospitalization, he had a backache and respiratory failure. We investigated him and diagnosed vascular rupture of branch of right subclavian artery. We performed transcatheter arterial embolization to arrest hemorrhage. However, he died of multiple organ failure. We report a case of vascular rupture of right subclavian artery with von Recklinghausen disease after infected COVID-19.
