Prenatal diagnosis of neurofibromatosis type 1: sonographic and MRI findings

Prenatal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a large oropharyngeal tumor, and cardiac and cranial abnormalities consistent with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) in a third‐trimester fetus, which were confirmed on postmortem examination. Sonographic features of NF1 are generall...

Zusammenfassung:	Prenatal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a large oropharyngeal tumor, and cardiac and cranial abnormalities consistent with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) in a third‐trimester fetus, which were confirmed on postmortem examination. Sonographic features of NF1 are generally nonspecific; MR examination provided significant additional information, facilitating prenatal diagnosis. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
