  • Title: Aqueductal stenosis in neurofibromatosis.
    Author: Riviello JJ, Marks HG, Lee MS, Mandell GA.
    Journal: Neurofibromatosis; 1988; 1(5-6):312-7. PubMed ID: 3152484.
    Abstract:
    Macrocrania (i.e., macrocephaly) is a common manifestation of von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis (NF-1), occurring in approximately 30% of patients with this disorder. Megalencephaly is the usual basis for NF-1-associated macrocrania, although obstructive hydrocephalus secondary to a brain tumor or cranial vault dysplasia may occur. We describe 2 patients with NF-1 and aqueductal stenosis documented by CT scan. The incidence of aqueductal stenosis among our patients with NF-1 is 1%.
