  • Title: Neurofibromatosis presenting with aqueductal stenosis due to a tumor of the aqueduct: case report.
    Author: Hosoda K, Kanazawa Y, Tanaka J, Tamaki N, Matsumoto S.
    Journal: Neurosurgery; 1986 Dec; 19(6):1035-7. PubMed ID: 3100982.
    Abstract:
    A 17-year-old boy with neurofibromatosis presented with delayed puberty and epileptic seizures of recent onset. A computed tomographic scan revealed aqueductal stenosis due to a tumor of the aqueduct. This tumor was found at autopsy to be a pilocytic astrocytoma. Aqueductal stenosis in neurofibromatosis is uncommon and has been considered to be a result of periaqueductal gliosis. This seems to be the first report of neurofibromatosis associated with a tumor of the aqueduct.
