Abstract:
The authors have experienced 4 cases of neurofibromatosis with C-P angle tumors in 1979. In 3 cases of them, C-P angle tumors were confirmed surgically, and in one another case, bilateral C-P angle tumors with multiple intracranial and extracranial tumors were found in C-T scan. Where suspicion of a bilateral tumor of the 8th nerve arises, it is reasonable always to seek evidence of neurofibromatosis, otherwise described as von Recklinghausen's disease. It is recommended that intracranial tumors of the patient with central neurofibromatosis should be removed for prolongation of life, though the another tumors will grow after that.
