Disturbed voiding associated with von Recklinghausen's neurofibroma.
Abstract The incidence of von Recklinghausen's disease is most frequent among neurocutaneous syndrome. It is an intractable neurological disease. About half of the disease is caused by an autosomal dominant inheritance and another half by mutation. It is characterized by neurofibroma which arises on various parts of the body and gradually increases with age. We recently encountered a case where a growth of neurofibroma within the foreskin had disturbed voiding.
