Neurofibromatosis Type I –“Von Recklinghausen”
• Autosomal dominant • NFI gene 17q11.2• Neurofibromin protein impaired• MC neurocutaneous syndrome• Cafe-au-lait spots: 6 or more, 5 mm in
prepubertal and 15 mm in adult• MC associated tumor = optic nerve glioma 1/3• Assoc ADHD and LD• Diff Dx- Schwannomatosis, Demyelination,
Gliomatosis cerebri
Neurofibromatosis Type IDiagnostic Criteria: (need 2 of 7)1. Axillary/Inguinal freckling2. Bone deformities: sphenoid dysplasia,
thinning of long bones3. Café au lait spots4. 1st Degree relative5. Eye findings: Lisch nodules (> or = 2)6. Fibromas (> or = 2 neurofibroma or 1
plexiform neurofibroma)7. Glioma of optic nerve

Optic Glioma

Optic glioma
MR Signal Abnormalities
• T1W Bright Foci– globus pallidus• T2W Bright Foci– w/o mass, don't enhance– Cerebellar peduncles, Pons, midbrain, globus
pallidus, thalamus, optic radiations- Plexiform bright•What are they?? UBOs– Ectopic Schwann cells, Melanocytes ??– Dysmyelination ??– Intracellular proteinaceous fluid ?
May become Neoplasms? (uncommon)
About 60% of the patients in childhood and adolescence show large signal intense zones in the T2-weighted sequence (otherwise known as undetermined bright objects, UBO). These often are mistaken for astrocytomas. Their true nature is not known.

Genes (Autosomal Dominant)TSC-1 Harmatin ch 9q34TSC-2 Tuberin ch 16p13.3
• Seizures in infancy, responds to Vigabitrin
Diagnostic criteria for TS
• Definite TSC: Either 2 major or 1 major with 2 minor
• Probable TSC: 1 major and 1 minor • Possible TSC: Either 1 major or 2 minor
Diagnostic criteria for TS• Major Features:

Adenoma Sebaceum
• NOT present at birth• Develop before puberty• Nasolabial fold -> bi-malar• Papules of angiofibroma
Depigmentation• Ash-Leaf Spots
– (Lance-Ovate Shape)• Confetti- Like Hypopigmentation
– (Inverse Freckles)
Subungual fibroma
Tuberous Sclerosis Imaging• Best clue- 98% calcified subependymal nodules
(GRE/SWI) and enhance. If at Foramen of Monroe and enlarging think SEGA.
• Ventriulomegaly• Radial lines – streaky on FLAIR• Focal lacune like cysts WM (vascular)
Diff Dx: X-linked sudpendymal heterotopia, TORCHS, Taylors dysplasia

Sturge-Weber Syndrome“Encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis”
• Sporadic inheritence• 1.) Facial port wine stain
Trigeminal opthalmic V1 and maxillary V2 2.) Leptomeningeal angioma – ipsilateral in
occipital area usually (80% unilateral)

Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS)
• Other clinical:Glaucoma – BuphthalmosContralateral hemiparesisSeizuresIQ impairedHemianopiamigraine headaches
Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS)• Imaging:
CT= Gyral calcificationsxray= trolley track/tram track calcifications
occipital or parietal-occipitalMRI = hemiatrophy, serpentine leptomenigeal
enhancement with pial angiomatosis-with later atrophy and Ca++, enlarged ipsilat choroid plexus, calavarial thickening, gyral enhancement and prominent deep veins.
MRA = High flow AVMsMRV = sinovenous occlusion
Port-Wine Stain (facial nevus)Affects ophthalmic (V1), maxillary (V2), and mandibular (V3) divisions of the trigeminal nerve

Part IIPosterior Fossa Developmental Anomalies

Posterior Fossa Developmental Anomalies
• 1.) Cerebellar hypoplasia• 2.) Dandy Walker• 3.) Chiari Malformation I-III• 4.) Molar Tooth Malformations
(Joubert)

Embryology• Stage 1: Dorsal Induction: Formation and closure
of the neural tube. (Weeks 3-4)
• Stage 2: Ventral Induction: Formation of the brain segments and face. (Weeks 5-10)
• Stage 3: Migration and Histogenesis: (Months 2-5)
• Stage 4: Myelination: (5-15 months; matures by 3 years)
Three vesicles Five vesicles
Cerebellar Hypoplasia
• Inherited or aquired by arrested embryogenesis or inc apoptosis
• Difficult to discern etiology. • Small cerebellar hemishperes and vermis• Recommend serial imaging to determine
type. • Renal, cardiac and optho finding can help

Cerebellar Hypoplasia• Diff Dx:
1.) Isolated Cerebellar Hypoplasia-Nonprogressive congenital atxia, hypotonia, tremor, nystagmus, cognitive speech delays.
2.) Pontocerebellar hypoplasia-ProgressivePCH type 1: profound muscle weakness (SMA)PCH type 2: feeding issues, psychomotor delay, dyskinesiasCongenital D/o of Glycosylation: MR, parkinsonism, ataxia, fat depositionPEHO: progressive encephalopathy, hypsarrhythmia, optic atrophy
• Also can be caused by acquired insults, infections, etc.
Cerebellar Hypoplasia
Barkovich 2010
Dandy Walker Malformation Spectrum
• Many sporadic, some x-linked• Defective development of the roof of the 4th
ventricle with hindbrain developmental arrest. Ventral induction problem.
• Enlarged posterior fossa with upward displacement of the torcular, transverse sinuses, tentorium.
• Cystic dilatation of the 4th ventricle• Varying vermian, cerebellar hypoplasia.• Presence of fastigium/vermian lobulation= better
outcome• VP shunt if hydrocephalus
Dandy Walker

14
Dandy Walker Dandy Walker “Variant”
• Milder form• Variable hypoplasia
of inferior vermis without fastigial recess.
• Normal sized posterior fossa (No torcular inversion).
Molar Tooth Malformations“Joubert”
• “Molar tooth” appearance of midbrain on axial images. Thick superior cerebellar peduncles.
• 4th ventricle situated high at midbrain-pons junction.
• Small dysplastic vermis. • Associated with severe hypotonia, ataxia,
oculomotor apraxia, developmental delay, retinal anomalies, seizures, apnea, large head and forehead.
• Multiple types of gene mutatiuons.
Chiari I Malformation•Failure of dorsal induction
•Inferior herniation of a cerebellar tonsil through the foramen magnum with small 4th ventricle
•Types: I : asymptomatic II : brain stem compression (pointed)III : syrinx

Chiari I Malformation•Cervical cord syrinx 20 - 75% •Hydrocephalus 30%•Some cases thought to result from abnormal CSF flow dynamics.•Skeletal anomalies in 23 - 45% platybasia / basilar invagination , atlanto-occipital assimilation , Sprengel deformity•Syndromic associations
Crouzon syndrome ,Hajdu-Cheney syndromeKlippel-Feil syndrome
Radiopedia.org Chiari I
Chiari I MalformationLine joining the basion to the opisthiondefines lower limit of the posterior cranial fossa = reference point for tonsillar ectopia.
above foramen magnum: normal < 3 mm: also normal but the term benign tonsillar ectopia can be used 3 to 6 mm : indeterminate, and needs to be corellated with symptoms and presence of syrnix etc...>6mm : Chiari 1 malformation
above foramen magnum: normal < 5 mm: also normal but the term benign tonsillar ectopia can be used> 5 mm : Chiari 1 malformation
Chiari I Malformation Chiari I Malformation

Chiari II Malformation
• 100% assoc with neural tube closure defect, usually lumbar myelomenigiocele.
• Cervicomedullary kinking
Chiari III Malformation
• Cervical occipital encephalocele + Chiari II• +/‐ hydrocephalus
Chiari IV• Severe cerebellar
hypoplasia• Small brain stem.• Large posterior
fossa CSF spaces.
