description

We present an atypical case of neurofibromatosis marked by young age at onset, rapid invasiveness of the tumor, the presence of curious autonomic symptoms, cranial malformation and congenital microphthalmus, a combination that suggests a new syndrome, which might be called childhood microphthalmic neurofibromatosis.
