BACKGROUND
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder with a high index of spontaneous mutations and extremely varied and unpredictable clinical manifestations. It is diagnosed by the existence of certain clinical criteria which cannot appear until adulthood.

OBJECTIVE
Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL) is a rare congenital neurocutaneous disorder. It was described by Haberland in 1970 and is also called Haberland syndrome. It is characterized by unilateral skin lesions such as lipomas, connective tissue nevi, and alopecia with ipsilateral
Neurofibromatosis and tuberous sclerosis are phakomatous syndrome diseases. They are both inherited as autosomal dominant diseases. Neurofibromatosis type 1 and tuberous sclerosis very seldom occur together. We report a 16-year-old male who had characteristics of these two diseases. This patient had
OBJECTIVE
Gangliogliomas are rare tumors composed of an admixture of glial and neuronal components. These usually occur in young patients, who present with therapy-resistant seizures. Clinical presentation of ganglioglioma with diabetes insipidus is extremely rare with only one case reported earlier
Twenty-one patients with documented neurofibromatosis had MR examinations to evaluate possible intracranial disease. In five cases the indication was a known or suspected optic glioma. Two patients were examined because of a history of seizures; the rest were examined as part of a baseline
Children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) undergo costly surveillance scanning for a variety of asymptomatic central nervous system lesions whose natural history is poorly understood. We performed a 20-year retrospective chart review of 25 patients with clinically proven NF1 who required surgery
A case of meningioma that developed 37 years after irradiation therapy for vascular nevus of the scalp over the right frontoparietal region was reported. A 49-year-old male was admitted to the hospital of Gifu University on October 26, 1979, because of a generalized seizure. He had been born with a
Neurological findings, difficulties in reading and writing, and behavior disturbances in 27 children with neurofibromatosis were analyzed. Neurological symptoms such as seizures and motor disturbances were found in 37%. Tumors, mainly optic gliomas, and arachnoidal cysts were seen by computerized
BACKGROUND
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is one of the most common neurocutaneous disorders. It is an autosomal dominant hereditary condition, although an half of all cases are related with spontaneous mutations. Mutations within NF1 gene (c17q11.2) result in loss of function of the protein
Neurofibromatosis 1 is the most common neurocutaneous disease. Neurologic manifestations are mainly represented by tumors such as optic gliomas, focal areas of high T2-weighted signal known as unidentified bright objects, and mental retardation or learning disabilities. The prevalence of seizures
To describe the characteristics of epilepsy in patients with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).
Analysis of a cohort of consecutive NF1 patients seen in our NF1 clinic during a three-year period.
Of the 184 NF1 patients seen during that period, 26 had epilepsy and three had febrile seizures. Of the 26,
The evolution of the endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal technique, which was initially reserved only for sellar lesions through the sphenoid sinus cavity, has lead in the last decades to a progressive possibility to access the skull base from the nose. This route allows midline access and
