Von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis (NF-1) is a phacomatosis characterised by widespread nervous system tumours with cutaneous manifestations and variably associated anomalies. We report here a case, who, in addition to classical features of NF-1 (café-au-lait spots, cutaneous and subcutaneous neurofibromas) demonstrated radiological evidence of both spinal and intracranial neurofibromas and an incidentally discovered horse-shoe kidney. The unique constellation of spinal and intracranial neurofibromas, with associated horse-shoe kidney.
