Abstract
Patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) can manifest a characteristic vasculopathy that in adults is rarely associated with fatal coronary artery occlusion. We describe the clinical and pathological findings from 2 unrelated young children with NF1, a similar vasculopathy affecting their coronary arteries, and sudden cardiac death.
