Gastrointestinal Neurofibromatosis
Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 1984Progressive anemia, melena, and sudden massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding in a man with cutaneous neurofibromatosis (von Recklinghausen's disease) since childhood prompted endoscopic demonstration of multiple gastric neurofibromas. One source of gastric bleeding removed by endoscopic electrosurgery proved to be a malignant schwannoma (spindle cell

Neurofibromatosis or von Recklinghausen disease usually is a readily diagnosed entity, characterized by typical cutaneous lesions and a strong family history. In a variant of the usual disease, peripheral neurofibromatosis, these stigmata may be absent and accurate diagnosis may be elusive.

Two patients with central form of neurofibromatosis are reported. Bilateral acoustic neuromas were diagnosed by computerized tomography (CT) scan in one and at autopsy in the other patient. The clinical and radiologic features in the first patient indicated associated bilateral optic nerve gliomas.

The origin of neurofibromatosis (the neuroectoderm, the mesectoderm, or both primordia?) is not known. The protean manifestations of the disease cannot be explained, and classification of the various forms of orbital neurofibromatosis on the basis of specific neural involvement has never been attempted. Further studies of the pathogenesis are therefore

Segmental neurofibromatosis is characterised by a limited, segmental distribution of cutaneous neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) lesions. It has been suggested that segmental NF results from a postzygotic <i>NF1</i> gene mutation, and, recently, this hypothesis has been proven in a patient with regionally distributed café-au-lait (CAL) spots ...

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.

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

Ophthalmology, 1983
A 4 1/2-month-old girl with unilateral congenital glaucoma of the left eye subsequently underwent five surgical procedures that proved to be unsuccessful in controlling the intraocular pressure. Neurofibromatosis was diagnosed at the age of 5 1/2 years when she was found to have a plexiform neuroma of the left eyelids and multiple café au lait spots ...

A child with segmental neurofibromatosis is reported. The clinical, histopathological and ultrastructural characteristics of this rare condition are described. This entity is considered to be a localized form of von Recklinghausen's disease. The aetiology is not clear, but somatic mutation in early embryonic development may be important.

Two patients had localized multiple cutaneous neurofibromas; one had bilateral involvement of the scalp and the other had true segmental neurofibromatosis. Other signs of neurofibromatosis were absent. Segmental neurofibromatosis may not be related to the generalized types of neurofibromatosis but may be a cutaneous hamartoma.
