“…2 The role of imaging in this condition is essentially to search for neurological, bone or vascular damage; this is made possible by conventional radiology and cross-sectional imaging (CT/MRI). Thus, at the bone level, the anomalies found may concern the axial or appendicular skeleton with areas of predilection such as 3,4 :…”
Von Recklinghausen disease is the most common phacomatosis. It can affect many systems, including the bone system. Through these 2 cases, we illustrate the bone manifestations of this disease.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
