[Association of Recklinghausen's disease, dental dystrophy and myopia in a Tunisian family].
The authors describe a tunisian family including ten patients with neurofibromatosis. Four case reports present dental anomalies (amelogenesis imperfecta) and three have myopia. The authors believe there is no clinical or genetical relation between neurofibromatosis and this dental dystrophia; but myopia may be a clinical expression of Recklinghausen disease.
