Abstract
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterised by
various phenotypic features like hyperpigmented spots, neurofibromas, Lisch nodules, skeletal
abnormalities and tendency to develop neoplasms. Only few cases of Non-Familial Spinal
Neurofibromatosis-1 (Non-FSNF1) have been described in literature with tumors involving
the spinal roots at every level being even rarer. We reported an interesting case of bilateral
symmetrical cervical neurofibroma with multiple spinal neurofibromas appearing as mirror
image on CT, associated with non familial NF-1 as a rare presentation in a 25-year-old adult male.
Keywords
