The case of a 20 yr. old man with Recklinghausen''s disease of the central type, associated with an acoustic neurinoma, multiple meningiomas, multiple ependymomas, and syringomyelia, is presented. The medical literature was reviewed, and 48 cases of Recklinghausen''s disease with acoustic neurinomas and multiple meningiomas were analyzed. The average age of the patients was 27 yr. Females and males were equally affected. Acoustic neurinomas were bilateral in 82% and unilateral in 18% of the cases. Multiple meningiomas were intracranial in 54%, intracranial and intraspinal in 42%, and only intraspinal in 4% of the cases. Of the patients 45% had associated gliomas which were frequently multiple andlocalizedin the cervical and dorsal spinal cord, Syringomyelia and family history of Recklinghausen''s neurofibromatosis were found in 20% of the cases.
