Abstract:
:A patient with von Recklinghausen's disease presented with a right sixth nerve palsy. Investigations demonstrated unilateral dolichoectasia of the intracranial carotid artery and sphenoid wing dysplasia. This case demonstrates an association not previously documented, that of unilateral fusiform dilatation of the carotid artery with sphenoid wing dysplasia in the presence of classical neurofibromatosis.
