Neurofibromatosis 1

Neurologic Clinics, 2002
Neurofibromatosis 1 is one of the most common genetic conditions affecting the nervous system. Individuals with NF1 are predisposed to the development of peripheral nerve sheath tumors (neurofibromas and MPNSTs), astrocytomas (optic pathway gliomas), learning disabilities, seizures, strokes, macrocephaly, and vascular abnormalities.

Neurofibromatosis

There are two types of neurofibromatosis (NF): NF1 (type 1, peripheral NF, or von Recklinghausen syndrome); NF2 (type 2, central or bilateral acoustic NF). The mode if inheritance is autosomal dominant.

Meningiomas and neurofibromatosis

Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 2010
Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is a rare genetic disorder predisposing to multiple benign tumors of the nervous system. Meningiomas occur in about half of NF2 patients, and are often multiple. Patients harboring seemingly isolated multiple meningiomas should be investigated to diagnose NF2 by careful familial history collection, detailed clinical ...

The pedicle in neurofibromatosis

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1978
Three cases of von Recklinghausen's disease (neurofibromatosis) are described, one with agenesis of a pedicle, another with multiple hypoplastic pedicles, and a third with bilateral hypoplastic pedicles producing a spondylolistesis. These peidcle deficiencies are manifestations of mesodermal dysplasia.

Macrocranium and Neurofibromatosis

Radiology, 1973
Abstract Of 34 children with neurofibromatosis, 30% had macrocranium as defined by head circumference and 75% by radiographic criteria. The study suggests that macrocranium may be an expression of neurofibromatosis.

Neurofibromatosis 2

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2003
Recent clinical and molecular research on neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) is reviewed, and the implications for clinical practice and research are discussed.NF2 patients who are treated in specialty centers have a significantly lower risk of mortality than those who are treated in non-specialty centers. Vestibular schwannoma growth rates in NF2 are generally

Neurofibromatosis of the Bladder

Scandinavian Journal of Urology and Nephrology, 1996
Multiple neurofibromatosis, von Recklinghausen's disease, is a rare disease of the neurilemmal cells. It is an inherited disorder transmitted as a mendelian dominant and characterized by multiple subcutaneous tumours and café-au-lait spots. The first time its symptoms were described was by Smith in 1849.

NAEVOXANTHOENDOTHELIOMA AND NEUROFIBROMATOSIS

British Journal of Dermatology, 2006
Summary.— Two cases of naevoxanthoendothelioma and von Reckling-hausen's syndrome are described and the evidence for an association between these two conditions is discussed.

Neurofibromatosis in Children

Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1986
Neurofibromatosis occurs once in every 3,000 live births. Café au lait spots are the most common presenting lesion. Five spots with a diameter of at least 0.5 cm. should be considered diagnostic in children. Spinal deformity is the most common bony lesion. Scoliosis varies from mild nonprogressive forms to hairpin curvatures.

Clitoromegaly in neurofibromatosis

American Journal of Medical Genetics, 1995
AbstractGenitourinary neurofibromas are rare and clitoral involvement in neurofibromatosis (NF) has been reported infrequently. However, when it occurs, clitoromegaly is often the presenting sign. In many cases, it is congenital. In 236 families with type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF‐1) evaluated through the USF Regional Genetics Program between January ...
