  • Title: [Spontaneous regression of basal ganglia lesions in a case of neurofibromatosis type 1 (case report)].
    Author: Oztürk M, Ozyazgan I, Mavili E, Orhan S.
    Journal: Tani Girisim Radyol; 2003 Dec; 9(4):439-42. PubMed ID: 14730952.
    Abstract:
    Neurofibromatosis type 1 is characterized on magnetic resonance imaging by optic nerve gliomas, parenchymal gliomas, and foci of prolonged T2 relaxation involving the brainstem, cerebellum, midbrain, internal capsule, and basal ganglia. We report a child with neurofibromatosis type 1 in whom serial magnetic resonance imaging demonstrates spontaneous regression of basal ganglia lesions. These lesions, characterized on magnetic resonance imaging by increased signal intensity on T1- and T2-weighted sequences, involved the globus pallidus and internal capsules in a bilateral fashion.
