Figure 11-413 <bold>NEUROFIBROMATOSIS: FOOT.</bold> Observe the thin, irregular, scalloped appearance of the metatarsal bones. This deformity in the metatarsal bones is likened to the twisted ribbon appearance seen affecting the ribs in neurofibromatosis. Mesodermal dysplasia is the underlying pathologic process allowing this radiographic appearance to occur in neurofibromatosis.
