Three cases with rare association of neurofibromatosis, hydrocephalus, and aqueductal stenosis seen at the University of Iowa during the past 20 years are presented. The literature on nontumoral hydrocephalus and aqueductal stenosis in neurofibromatosis is reviewed. Possible explanations for the association of aqueductal stenosis and neurofibromatosis are discussed. It is concluded that aqueductal stenosis, though not common, should nevertheless be considered in the differential diagnosis of hydrocephalus in neurofibromatosis.
本文介绍了爱荷华大学在过去20年中发现的3例神经纤维瘤病、脑积水和导水管狭窄罕见关联的病例。对神经纤维瘤病中非肿瘤性脑积水和导水管狭窄的文献进行了综述。讨论了导水管狭窄与神经纤维瘤病关联的可能解释。得出的结论是，导水管狭窄虽然不常见，但在神经纤维瘤病脑积水的鉴别诊断中仍应予以考虑。
