title: Echotomographic imaging in a case of plexiform von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis.
abstract: The authors present a case of plexiform von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis with lumbosacral localisation and extension along the femoral nerve. The usefulness of echotomographic imaging is illustrated in clarifying the diagnosis, and excluding other pathological conditions which may present a similar clinical picture.
