Neurofibromatosis type 1 is an autosomal dominant genetic syndrome associated with numerous neoplastic and non-neoplastic manifestations affecting a variety of organ systems, including skin, eye, nervous system, skeleton and endocrine and gastrointestinal tract. The diagnosis and clinical course of this disease is associated with a variety of different challenges. Postoperative management of surgically treated cases is even more difficult. We present a case of a young lady with NF1 with kissing NFBs of C2 root with severe cervical spine compression and signs of myelopathy treated surgically. The postoperative period was practically the follow up of complications and addressing them. The final result is very good and the overall follow up was 5 years.
