Café au lait spot characteristic of NF1 Diagnostic criteria of neurofibromatosis type I, requiring at least 2 of the mentioned items. [6]The following is a list of conditions and complications associated with NF-1, and, where available, age range of onset and progressive development, occurrence percentage of NF-1 population, method of earliest diagnosis, and treatments and related medical ...
Neurofibromatosis arise from the supporting cells of the nervous system rather than the neurons themselves. [1] In NF1, the tumors are neurofibromas (tumors of the peripheral nerves), while in NF2 and schwannomatosis tumors of Schwann cells are more common. [1] Diagnosis is typically based on symptoms, examination, medical imaging, and biopsy.

A neurofibroma is a benign nerve-sheath tumor in the peripheral nervous system.In 90% of cases, they are found as stand-alone tumors (solitary neurofibroma, solitary nerve sheath tumor [1] or sporadic neurofibroma [1]), while the remainder are found in persons with neurofibromatosis type I (NF1), an autosomal-dominant genetically inherited disease.
Necrotizing fasciitis (NF), also known as flesh-eating disease, is an infection that kills the body's soft tissue. [3] It is a serious disease that begins and spreads quickly. [3] Symptoms include red or purple or black skin, swelling, severe pain, fever, and vomiting. [3] The most commonly affected areas are the limbs and perineum. [2]
Neurofibromatosis type II (also known as MISME syndrome – multiple inherited schwannomas, meningiomas, and ependymomas) is a genetic condition that may be inherited or may arise spontaneously, and causes benign tumors of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. The types of tumors frequently associated with NF2 include vestibular ...
Main symptoms of neurofibromatosis type I. [7] Diagnostic criteria of neurofibromatosis type I, requiring at least 2 of the mentioned items. [8] Neurofibromatosis type 1 is the most common phakomatosis and it affects approximately 1 in 2500-3000 live births. [9] It is a genetic disorder due to a germline mutation in the NF1 gene.
