  • Title: [Neurofibromatosis in childhood. Computed tomographic findings in the skull and neck areas].
    Author: Zanella FE, Mödder U, Benz-Bohm G, Thun F.
    Journal: Rofo; 1984 Nov; 141(5):498-504. PubMed ID: 6438712.
    Abstract:
    The value of CT was investigated in sixteen children and adolescents with neurofibromatosis affecting the skull and neck. Its advantage is the simultaneous demonstration of bone and soft tissue changes, which frequently occur together in this condition. Demonstration of the extent of the neurofibromatous soft tissue changes is of crucial importance to the surgeon when planning treatment. Serial observations provide information on progress of the disease and helps in the decision of the optimal time for surgery. The differential diagnosis is discussed.
