Overview
There are no typical x-ray findings associated with neurofibromatosis type 1, however, X-rays may be helpful in the diagnosis of other complications such as scoliosis, slender long bones, skeletal dysplasia, tibial pseudoarthrosis, and osteoporosis.
X Ray
There are no x-ray findings associated with neurofibromatosis type 1.[1][2] However, an x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of neurofibromatosis type 1, which include:
- Scoliosis. Measure Cobb angle.[3][1][2]
- Pseudarthrosis[4]
- Chest-wall deformity[4]
- Long bone bowing and obliteration of the intramedullary spaces.[3][1][2]
- Bone dysplasias[4]
- Presence of osteophytes.[3][2]
- Kyphosis[5]
- Spina bifida [5] [6]
