Recklinghausen disease which usually appears by tumors of the nervous system peripheral and central can present anomalies of other systems, particularly vascular anomalies. The damage of renal arteries is well known. Intracerebral aneurysms are rare. Multiple intracerebral aneurysm has been reported in only four cases. We report a case of a patient presenting three intracerebral aneurysms. The patient died of a meningial haemorrhage. This leads us to search for intracerebral aneurysms in Recklinghausen's disease, specially in presence of arterial hypertension.
