Abstract

Recent research into the natural course of neurofibromatosis has revealed an outstandingly high proportion of central nervous system malignancies as well as cancers of various other organs. Due to the lack of ionizing radiation, the extraordinary reconstruction in the frontal and parasaggital planes as well as the diagnosis of intracanalicular acoustic neurinomas and intraorbital tumors, magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) is indicated for control of patients with neurofibromatosis.
