[Selected problems of neurofibromatosis with presentation of a case of multiple intracranial and intramedullary tumors].
A case of neurofibromatosis type II in a 19-year-old man is described with clinical and neuroimaging (MRI) findings. The diagnostic criteria of neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) and type II (NF2) and the optimal management options are still controversial. The authors suggest that this patient fulfills criteria of neurofibromatosis type II as well as partially neurofibromatosis type I. At present, without molecular analysis of DNA, this assumption can not be verified.
