BACKGROUND
This case report documents the affliction of the lymph vessels as a phenotypic feature of neurofibromatosis-1 (NF-1).
METHODS
Routine transthoracic echocardiography, computed tomography scan of the thorax, magnetic resonance angiography of the renal arteries, and conventional digital
Objective: To report a case of neurofibromatosis-1 (NF-1) with retinal vasoproliferative tumor (RVPT) and macular edema and exudation that was successfully treated with intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB). Method: A retrospective case report of patient with neurofibromatosis, retinal vasoproliferative
A 26-year-old man who had neurofibromatosis type-2 with symptoms of unexplained optic disc edema is reported. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed bilateral acoustic schwannomas. Obstructive hydrocephalus, however, was not evident in spite of his severe disc edema and visual loss. After partial
A 2 and a half year-old boy with neurofibromatosis developed unilateral proptosis, decreased visual acuity, and optic disk edema. After the discovery and removal of an optic nerve glioma, the patient had ten years of excellent health until he began having headaches, nausea, and vomiting. He had
Myxedema coma, a rare but fatal emergency, is an extreme expression of hypothyroidism. We describe a 51-year-old male patient who has discontinued hypothyroidism treatment 10 months earlier and developed lethargy, edema, and cold intolerance symptoms. He also had a previous diagnosis of
BACKGROUND
To report an Asian patient with branch retinal vein occlusion secondary to neurofibromatosis 1.
METHODS
A 64-year-old woman presented with a loss of vision in her right eye of 9-month duration. A diagnosis of neurofibromatosis 1 was made. A general medical examination showed no
Sudden death following acute hypotension due to an undiagnosed pheochromocytoma (PHEO) is a rare event. Moreover, histopathology of the myocardium in such cases is rarely reported. We present a case of a woman who died during delivery. A 37-year-old parturient, who was 38 weeks pregnant, suffering
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant, multi-system, neurocutaneous disorder that predisposes to the development of benign and malignant tumors with a birth incidence rate of 1 in 2500-3000. 50% of cases are sporadic. The diagnosis is exclusively based on clinical assessment with
OBJECTIVE
To describe a rare case of acute myocardial infarction in a patient with neurofibromatosis 1 and pheochromocytoma and to review the literature on the coexistence of these 2 diseases, the causes of myocardial injury in patients with pheochromocytoma, and the utility of genetic testing and
BACKGROUND
Results of magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies in normal-appearing brain and in non-neoplastic brain lesions in individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) have been discrepant.
OBJECTIVE
We used magnetic resonance spectroscopy to analyze the metabolic patterns in the basal
Symptomatic peritumoral edema (PTE) is a known complication following radiosurgical treatment of meningiomas. While the edema in most patients can be successfully managed conservatively with corticosteroid therapy or bevacizumab, some medically refractory cases may require surgical Basal ganglia lesions, characterized on MR by increased signal intensity on T1-weighted images, were observed in seven patients with documented neurofibromatosis. These lesions most often involved the globus pallidus and internal capsules in a bilateral and symmetric fashion, and extended across the

Objective: Intracranial meningiomas occur in about half of neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) patients and are very frequently multiple. Thus, estimating individual meningiomas' growth rates is of great interest to tailor therapeutic interventions. The Asan
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), also known as von Recklinghausen disease, is an autosomal dominant familial tumor syndrome. Glioblastoma is a malignant brain tumor but is a rare occurrence in patients with NF1. Here, we report a rare occurrence of glioblastoma in a 60-year-old man with NF1, who
