Removal of plexiform neurofibromas is difficult because they can be large and cross tissue boundaries. However, besides pain, plexiform neurofibromas are sometimes removed due to the possibility of malignant transformation. The following examples show that plexiform neurofibromas can form anywhere and can make surgical resection difficult:
Neurofibromatosis type II (NF2 or NF II) is caused by mutations of the "Merlin" gene, [2] which seems to influence the form and movement of cells. The principal treatments consist of neurosurgical removal of the tumors and surgical treatment of the eye lesions. Historically the underlying disorder has not had any therapy due to the cell ...
Neurofibromatosis (NF) refers to a group of three distinct genetic conditions in which tumors grow in the nervous system. [1] The tumors are non-cancerous (benign) and often involve the skin or surrounding bone. [1] Although symptoms are often mild, each condition presents differently. Neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) is typically characterized ...
Neurofibromatosis type I (NF-1), or von Recklinghausen syndrome, is a complex multi-system human disorder caused by the mutation of neurofibromin 1 (NF-1), a gene on chromosome 17 that is responsible for production of a protein (neurofibromin) which is needed for normal function in many human cell types. NF-1 causes tumors along the nervous ...

Failed back syndrome or post-laminectomy syndrome is a condition characterized by chronic pain following back surgeries. [1] [2] Many factors can contribute to the onset or development of FBS, including residual or recurrent spinal disc herniation, persistent post-operative pressure on a spinal nerve, altered joint mobility, joint hypermobility with instability, scar tissue (), depression ...
