title: An arachnoid cyst in an 8-year-old boy with neurofibromatosis.
abstract: Although associations of a variety of developmental abnormalities of the brain and the spinal cord with neurofibromatosis have been reported, association of a cerebral arachnoid cyst with neurofibromatosis is extremely rare. We report the second case of this association in an 8-year-old Japanese boy.
