Abstract

A patient diagnosed as having neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) on the basis of 6 café-au-lait macules, multiple subcutaneous neurofibromas and 1 Lisch nodule is described. He later was found to have bilateral acoustic nerve tumors plus multiple intracranial meningiomas. This patient is one of a few adequately described cases who clinically meets diagnostic criteria for NF-1 and has bilateral acoustic nerve tumors.
