A 25-year-old woman was screened after her son was diagnosed with type I neurofibromatosis. Head MRI scan revealed a cystic left frontal lobe lesion with a mural tumor typical of an astrocytoma
associated with neurofibromatosis. Although the lesion was stable on successive MRI scans, the patient desired excision.
With the patient's head held in a fixation frame, a cranial skin flap was made from within the hairline in the midline anteriorly to above the left ear.
