RÉSUMÉ La neurofibromatose 1 (NF1) ou maladie de Von Recklinghausen est une maladie héréditaire autosomique dominante. C’est l’une des maladies génétiques les plus fréquentes. Le neurofibrome plexiforme est une tumeur rare et bénigne, souvent associée à la NF1. L'imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM) est d'une grande aide au diagnostic de cette pathologie. La confirmation anatomopathologique est nécessaire dans la quête du diagnostic positif. L’article rapporte le cas d'une fille de 5 ans atteinte de neurofibrome plexiforme cervical, révélateur d'une NF1. Cette forme a localisation cervicale était compliquée d’une dyspnée due à la compression. La patiente a bénéficié d’une chirurgie d’exerece avec des suites post opératoires simples. ABSTRACT Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) or Von Recklinghausen's disease is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder. It is one of the most common genetic diseases. Plexiform neurofibroma is a rare, benign tumor, often associated with NF1. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a great help in diagnosing this condition. Histopathological confirmation is necessary in the quest for a positive diagnosis. The article reports the case of a 5-year-old girl with cervical plexiform neurofibroma, indicative of NF1. This cervical form was complicated by dyspnea due to compression. The patient underwent excision surgery with simple postoperative follow-ups.
