Magnetic resonance imaging of meningio-angiomatosis

Can J Neurol Sci. 1988 May;15(2):161-4. doi: 10.1017/s0317167100027554.

Abstract

We report the case of a patient with meningio-angiomatosis, a rare disorder of the cerebral cortex often associated with Von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis. Previous reports have described a variety of radiological findings but in general they have been of little value in the diagnosis of this disorder. We describe the magnetic resonance image, which identified a well-defined lesion. The imaging techniques are reviewed.
