摘要：

A patient with type 1 neurofibromatosis was followed up with neuroimaging over a period of 12 years. A spontaneous decrease in the size of a histologically verified pilocytic astrocytoma was documented on serial CT and MR examinations, Subsequent studies showed the development of a lesion in the contralateral hemisphere with mass effect and contrast enhancement, Results of a biopsy disclosed normal brain tissue; follow-up imaging showed a spontaneous decrease in the size of this abnormality.
