Summary
Optic nerve tortuosity is a benign and usually asymptomatic optic nerve abnormality documented on magnetic resonance imaging. This abnormality has rarely been defined in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) cases. In this case report, we present incidental optic nerve tortuosity in a housewife with NF1 without any ocular involvement. Optic nerve tortuosity may occasionally be an incidental finding in patients with NF1. Therefore, clinicians should be aware of this rare coexistence.
