    Author: Epstein NE, Rosenthal AD, Selman J, Osipoff M, Hyman RA.
    Journal: Neurosurgery; 1983 Dec; 13(6):692-5. PubMed ID: 6318150.
    Abstract:
    Intracranial gliomas are found in association with von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis. However, few truly neonatal lesions have been identified and studied. This case report concerns a 4-month-old child who was found to have a massive thalamic glioma of moderate grade. Four paternal generations had suffered from different manifestations of this transmissible autosomal-dominant (Ad) phakomatosis.
