  • Title: Dural ectasia of the optic nerve sheath in neurofibromatosis type 1: MRI manifestations.
    Author: Doi J, Uchino A, Kato A, Koga T, Kudo S.
    Journal: Radiat Med; 1997; 15(3):197-8. PubMed ID: 9278380.
    Abstract:
    Patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) have an increased incidence of optic glioma. Although spinal dural ectasia or meningocele is well represented in the NF-1 literature, radiologists are not as familiar with dural ectasia of the optic nerve sheath as spinal dural ectasia. This is a report of a pediatric patient with NF-1 with dural ectasia of the optic nerve sheath. This is the second reported case of dural ectasia of the optic nerve sheath demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging.
