Neurofibromatosis is a genetic chilhhood disease which presents with skin, eye, neurological and musculokeletal system manifestations. So far, no case of coexistence of neurofibromatosis and Jaccoud artropathy has been reported. This case is presented due to establishment of Jaccoud arthropathy in a patient with the diagnosis of neurofibromatosis.
