Association of von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis and aqueduct stenosis
Abstract
We present 6 patients with a definite diagnosis of von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis. All of them had aqueductal stenosis and hydrocephalus requiring surgical intervention because of clinical signs of increased intracranial pressure confirmed by pressure measurements.
