It has been suggested that perineural arachnoidal gliomatosis is seen almost exclusively in the setting of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). We describe a child with perineural arachnoidal gliomatosis o...

متن کاملNon-optic glioma in adults and children with neurofibromatosis 1
BACKGROUND Non-optic gliomas occur in 5% of children with NF1, but little is known about these tumours in adults. We aimed to investigate progression, spontaneous regression and the natural history of non-optic gliomas in adults and compare these findings to the results found in children. RESULTS One thousand seven hundred twenty-two brain MRI scans of 562 unselected individuals with NF1 were...
