Abstract
In a 6 year old boy a spongioblastoma of the optic chiasm was the first manifestation of a neurofibromatosis Recklinghausen. Further characteristic symptoms developed in the following years. This central type of neurofibromatosis was combined with a decreased reserve of the hypophyseal hormones ACTH, growth hormone and FSH.
