Focal Areas of High Signal Intensity in Children with Neurofibromatosis Type 1: Expected Evolution on MRI [PEDIATRICS]

CONCLUSIONS:
Focal areas of high signal intensity are mostly small (<15 mm) abnormalities in the posterior fossa or capsular lenticular region. Our results suggest that the evolution of focal areas of high signal intensity is not related to puberty with a peak at the age of 7 years. Knowledge of the predictive evolution of focal areas of high signal intensity is essential in the follow-up of children with neurofibromatosis type 1.
