title: [Ophthalmologic manifestations revealing a forme fruste of Recklinghausen's disease].
abstract: The authors report the case of a 14-year old European girl who presented with ptosis of the left eyelid and in whom other ophthalmic findings (Lisch's nodules, larger wing sphenoid bone hypoplasia at computed tomography) led to the diagnosis of von recklinghausen's disease. They recall and describe the main ophthalmic manifestations of this disease which may affect the eyelids (with a typical plexiform neuroma for example) the orbit (with bone dysplasia) and the eyeball (with very frequent Lisch's nodules). They discuss the frequency of such manifestations and their value in the diagnosis.
