We report the case of a patient with meningio-angiomatosis, a rare disorder of the cerebral cortex often associated with Von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis. Previous reports have described a variety of radiological findings but in general they have been of little value in the diagnosis of this disorder. We describe the magnetic resonance image, which identified a well-defined lesion. The imaging techniques are reviewed.
