  • Title: Bilateral segmental neurofibromatosis: a case report and review.
    Author: Gonzalez G, Russi ME, Lodeiros A.
    Journal: Pediatr Neurol; 2007 Jan; 36(1):51-3. PubMed ID: 17162198.
    Abstract:
    Bilateral segmental neurofibromatosis is a rare condition characterized by the occurrence of neurofibromas and/or café-au-lait spots limited to an area or segment of the body bilaterally. It is caused by a postzygotic mutation in the neurofibromatosis type I gene, resulting in a phenotype of genetic mosaicism. This report describes a case of bilateral segmental neurofibromatosis with multiple nodules sitting on a café-au-lait spot.
