Abstract
Von Recklinghausen Syndrome with Right-sided Basal Ganglion Abnormalities on Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Highlights
Von Recklinghausen syndrome is a complex genetic disorder that ranges from mild hardly noticed condition to an extremely terrifying progressive disorder with numerous complications and serious disfigurement of the body caused by generalized or huge growth of tumors
The aim of this paper is to describe a unique case of Von Recklinghausen syndrome in an Iraqi child associated with the right-sided basal ganglion abnormalities on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Nerve tissue tumors that are generally benign, but can cause serious damage by compressing nerves and other tissues. It is associated with neurofibromas which are tumors involving supporting cells in the nervous system rather than the neurons
Summary
Von Recklinghausen syndrome is a complex genetic disorder that ranges from mild hardly noticed condition to an extremely terrifying progressive disorder with numerous complications and serious disfigurement of the body caused by generalized or huge growth of tumors. The syndrome is called type-1 Neurofibromatosis, generalized neurofibromatosis, and multiple neurofibromatosis. It is associated with light brown spots on the skin. Nerve tissue tumors (neurofibromas) that are generally benign, but can cause serious damage by compressing nerves and other tissues. It is associated with neurofibromas which are tumors involving supporting cells in the nervous system rather than the neurons. Scoliosis, and freckles in the axilla and groin are observed in this syndrome. [1,4,5] The symptoms in this type are often present at birth or develop before the age of ten years
