[The diagnostic significance of peridurography in examining children with spinal deformities due to neurofibromatosis].

Contrast peridurography which was performed in 12 patients with neurofibromatosis allowed to reveal the contours of the tumour in 2 patients, peridural block in 5 patients and uneven vertebral canal in 3 patients. Only in 2 patients the vertebral canal picture was normal. It points at high information value of peridurography in the examination of the patients with neurofibromatosis with deformations of the spinal column.
