Abstract
Plexiform neurofibromas (PNFs) are benign tumors that arise from the nerve sheaths and are a hallmark of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). These tumors can occur in various anatomical locations, including the craniofacial region, and pose unique diagnostic and management challenges. They are often characterized by specific imaging features on MRI. In this case report, we present the imaging findings of a craniofacial plexiform neurofibroma, highlighting its characteristic features, and compare them with the existing literature on craniofacial plexiform neurofibromas.

Key words: Plexiform neurofibromas, target sign, nerve, MRI
