Abstract
Craniocervical manifestations of neurofibromatosis on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging are described in three patients and compared with those on CT. Using MR, intracranial gliomas, schwannomas, and neurofibromas were detected as well as with CT. In addition, a brain stem lesion that was not visualized on CT and a cervical cord lesion that was not suspected clinically were diagnosed with MR. Taking into account the noninvasive nature of MR, we believe that this technique should be the primary imaging modality for screening and follow-up studies in patients with known or suspected neurofibromatosis.
