    Abstract:
    Neurofibromatosis, NF, is a group of genetic disorders that primarily affect the cell growth of neural tissues. Cranio-orbital-temporal neurofibromatosis is an uncommon subtype of neurofibromatosis characterized by neurofibromas, cranial defects, and specific bone lesions. This case report presents the signs of cranial defects in a 24-year-old Caucasian woman with type 1 NF. Mandibular malformations due to NF and dental defects caused by intraoral masses and radiographic images are presented.
