title: [Ascending aortic aneurysm associated with von recklinghausen disease].
abstract: We report a case of ascending aortic aneurysm complicated with von Recklinghausen disease. A 57-year-old man was referred to our institution for further evaluation of the atrial fibrillation. Computed tomography (CT) revealed an aneurysm of the ascending aorta. The patient underwent resection of aneurysm to prevent rupture. Vascular complications in von Recklinghausen disease and the treatment for the vessels were discussed.
