title: [Neurofibroma of the laterocervical space: 4 cases from our experience].
abstract: Four cases of neurofibroma located in the lateral neck spaces are reported. All had come to light upon clinical examination during the course of a few months. The clinical aspects of each are described and the particular difficulties in diagnosis and pre-surgical treatment are stressed. In fact, solitary neurofibromas must be distinguished from von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis. Modern radiology has made it possible for the authors to make a presumptive diagnosis in two of the four cases. Particularly in one case CT-scan confirmed the contemporary involvement of the intrarachidian space. This demonstrates that in such cases a multidisciplinary approach is desirable.
