Abstract

astrocytoma dysplasia glioma neurofibroma neurofibromatosis‐1 Phakomatoses
Neurofibromatosis type I (NF‐1) belongs to a family of diseases named phakomatoses, which are characterized by congenital malformations of ectodermal structures. Neurofibromatosis type I affects 1 in 3000 people, and has a diverse clinical presentation as well as an array of imaging findings. In this article the authors review the various neuroimaging findings present in NF‐1, including abnormalities of the parenchyma, meninges, vessels, and associated neoplasms.
