Abstract
Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a phakomatosis associated with many neoplasms and malformations. Although common manifestations include multiple café au lait macules, benign neurofibromas, iris hamartomas and skeletal abnormalities, it is rarely associated with vascular lesions like stenosis, aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations. This case presentation shows a rare association of facial arteriovenous malformation with neurofibromatosis type 1 in a child.
