Abstract

The computerized tomography of 9 cases of neurofibromatosis is compared with routine X-rays. Gliomas of the optic nerve, sphenoidal dysplasias, plexiform neurofibromas and buphthalmos are shown in detail. CT today is an indispensable procedure for the diagnosis of neurofibromatosis of the orbit. Often it is up to the ophthalmologist to initiate CT in collaboration with other disciplines. This holds for diagnosis, surgical interventions and the follow-up examinations.
