Stroke in a child with neurofibromatosis type 2

Joanne Ng et al. Eur J Paediatr Neurol. 2009 Jan.

Abstract

Neurofibromatosis types 1 (NF1) and 2 (NF2) are genetically distinct conditions caused by mutations in tumour suppressor genes that share a number of phenotypic features. Childhood stroke and vasculopathy have been associated with NF1, but not with NF2. We describe a case of brainstem stroke in a child with NF2.
