[Multiple neurogenic tumors and dorsal vertebral cavities-- characteristic findings in Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis. A case contribution].

The neurofibromatosis, with or without the characteristic skin changes, often shows typical radiological findings of the skull and the spinal column. The computer tomography (CT) provided evidence of the exact extent and localisation of the neurofibromatous tumours and their malignant transformations. The large variety of neurofibromatosis is illustrated and demonstrated in a case of a young woman with multiple neurogenic tumors and vertebral scalloping. The problems are discussed by the relevant literature.
