Search Neurofibromatosis On this page: Neurofibromatosis is a condition in which noncancerous tumors called neurofibromas grow along nerves in the skin, brain, and other parts of the body. The two main types of neurofibromatosis can be distinguished by the locations of the tumors and by genetic testing. Genetic changes are related to the following types of neurofibromatosis. The features of neurofibromatosis depend on where the tumors are located and differ for each type of the condition. Sometimes the signs and symptoms are so mild that individuals may be unaware of having this disorder. In other cases, signs and symptoms can be very serious or life-threatening. For a discussion of specific features, please refer to the summaries for neurofibromatosis 1 and neurofibromatosis 2. How common is neurofibromatosis?

Search Neurofibromatosis 1 On this page: Neurofibromatosis 1 is a condition in which noncancerous tumors called neurofibromas grow along nerves in the skin, brain, and other parts of the body. Neurofibromatosis 1 is a subtype of neurofibromatosis During childhood, benign (noncancerous) growths called Lisch nodules often appear in the iris (the colored part of the eye). Lisch nodules do not interfere with vision. Another type of tumor, called an optic glioma, can occur on the nerve leading from the eye to the brain and sometimes causes decreased vision or total vision loss. Additional signs and symptoms include high blood pressure and bony changes such as curvature of the spine (scoliosis). Most people with neurofibromatosis 1 have normal intelligence. Fewer than 10 percent are mentally retarded, but about half of affected children have learning disabilities.

Extractions: Home Systemic Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a genetic disorder that affects the bone, soft tissue, skin and nervous system. It is classified into 2 distinct types, neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) and neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2). NF1 occurs in about 1 in 3000 births whilst NF2 only occurs in about 1 in 50,000 births. NF1, also known as von Recklinghausen disease, is characterised by the presence of: NF2, also known as bilateral acoustic neurofibromatosis, is characterised by multiple tumours and lesions on the brain and spinal cord. Tumours growing on the auditory nerves that lead to hearing loss is usually the first symptom of the disease. Often this is not apparent until the late teens or early 20's.

Extractions: Overview Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a genetic neurological disorder that affects cell growth in nerve tissue. NF produces tumors of the skin, internal organs, and nerves that may become cancerous (malignant). It also can affect bones, causing severe pain and debilitation and may result in learning disabilities, behavioral dysfunction, and hearing and vision loss. There is no cure for neurofibromatosis.

Dyschondrosteoses Neurofibromatosis type I, or von Recklinghausen disease, is a autosomal dominant disorder affecting the mesodermal and neuroectodermal tissues. Fifty percent of cases are due to spontaneous mutations. The incidence is 1 in 2,000 to 4,000 births. This is most common phakomatosis. Clinically, neurofibromas, cafe au lait spots, axillary/inguinal freckling, Lisch nodules (iris hamartomas), and osseous lesions are observed. A sharp angled scoliosis is characteristic of the disease, causing dwarfism. On occasion, the disease may produce a shortened limb due to bowing and pseudarthrosis, focal gigantism is more common, due to overgrowth of an ossification center, causing marked enlargement of a digit in the hand or foot. Treatment consists of scoliosis management. Usually, the scoliosis is refractory to bracing, and fusion may be required. REFERENCES Liebermann F, Korf BR.

Extractions: Neurofibromatosis The 'Cafe-au-Lait' (coffe with milk) colored blotches seen on the skin are the most recognized aspect of neurofibromatosis. Even so, these are not only seen in neurofibromatosis. Similar skin findings are found in Oliers's syndrome, Albright's disease, and Jaffe Campanacci syndrome - just to name a few. Also they are common in folks having no syndrome of any kind. At one time it was fashionable to use terms like phacodermatoses or neurocutaneous disorder. The gist was a wink wink implication of an embryological fact that is still hard to ignore. In the developing embryo , the nervous system starts out as a stripe down the center of the top embryologic layer. The embryo has an ectoderm (becomes skin and nervous system) separated from endoderm (guts, lips to tush) by mesoderm (meso means middle, it becomes muscle and bone). The whole thing rolls into a tube so that skin covers all. The central stripe of neuro-coulda-been-skin sinks in deep and is enveloped. Thus the nervous system is inside not outside. The edge - the very edge - where the neural ectoderm stripe touches plain old skin ectoderm - that edge is called the neural "crest". Why crest? Because as the skin and other stuff wells up to cover the neural stripe, this edge is on that crest. These neural crest cells are restless and do not stay put. They go on to migrate deep and go meandering into the other tissues to head the charge of neural tissue dispersing throughout other stuff.

Extractions: Neurofibromatosis Neurofibromatosis is a rare inherited disorder that results in benign tumors of the nerves and other parts of the body. Symptoms of this disease range from being virtually unnoticeable to causing neurologic problems or bone defects that affect the skull and spine. Symptoms There are two types of neurofibromatosis. Type 1 (NF-1), also called von Recklinghausen's disease, causes multiple benign (noncancerous) tumors of the nerves and skin. Type 2 (NF-2) causes benign tumors of the nerves that transmit sound from the inner ears to the brain. In some cases, NF-2 causes visions problems and increases the risk of developing specific brain and spinal cord tumors. NF-1 can also cause a change in the color of the skin. Areas of unusual skin color may appear on the trunk of the body as well as cause freckling under the arms or in the groin area. Abnormal skin color may be seen in the patient by one year of age, and the area affected gets bigger over time. At birth or early childhood, patients may have rather large benign tumors that consist of bundles of nerves. They may also develop harmless tumor-like nodules of the colored parts of the eyes or tumors of the optic nerves, which send nerve impulses from the innermost membrane of the eyes (retinas) to the brain. More rarely, patients may develop certain malignant (cancerous) tumors.
