There are two main types of neurofibromatosis: Nf1 caused by a defect on Chromosome 17 (90% of cases) and Nf2 caused by a defect on Chromosome 22. Major features of Nf2 include bilateral acoustic neuromas (Vestibular schwannomas) which usually begin to cause problems in the late teens or early twenties although rarely some are later onset. Minor features of Nf2 include juvenile lenticular cataracts and possibly CAL spots (but fewer than in Nf1). Complications of Nf2 include brain tumours which are normally benign - the most common type being meningiomas, spinal tumours and skin tumours - Schwannomas which may be similar to neurofibromas in Nf1.

For a general description, see neurofibromatosis Eight subtypes of the disease have been identified, although only two subtypes (neurofibromatosis-1 and neurofibromatosis-2) account for 99% of cases. Neurofibromatosis-1 is also known as von Recklinghausen's disease. Cafè au lait spots and the lesions of molluscum fibrosum are common. Another typical manifestation is a lesion of the iris termed the Lisch nodule . These nodules may be neurofibromas arising from peripheral schwannian elements or melanocytic hamartomas of neural crest origin. Bone abnormalities involve the cranium, spine and other sites.

Extractions: *For Medical Professionals only, registration required Neurofibromatosis, a group of heterogeneous conditions. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) only two types of neurofibromatosis are defined: neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) also called von Recklinghausen's disease; and neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) or bilateral eighth nerve schwannomas syndrome. The definition of "peripheral" and "central" neurofibromatosis, referred in the past to NF1 and NF2, respectively, has now been abandoned since the two conditions often have central and peripheral manifestations together. Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) NF1 is an autosomal dominant disorder with high penetrance but variable expressivity. The gene responsible is on the long arm of chromosome 17 and normally acts as a tumour-suppressor oncogene. The lack of both copies of the gene induces the growth of a variety of neoplasms and non-neoplastic lesions. The major target organs are both peripheral (PNS) and central (CNS) nervous system and the skin, but virtually widespread multiple organ system involvement occurs. NF1 is far more common than NF2 and affects approximately 1 in every 2,0003,000 births.

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: worldcf@worldnet.att.net Neurofibromatosis Neurofibromatosis is well known and was first felt to be occurring in James Merrick, or the "elephant man". Today we know that his diagnosis was Proteus syndrome. The cause of neurofibromatosis, or von Recklinghausen disease, is unknown but there is a genetic predisposition. The characteristics present in an infant with simple cafe au lait spots and minimal deformity. In time, this may progress into more massive deformities. Three basic types exists. Plexiform neurofibroma are flat lesions of moderate size which tend to follow the the nerve or nerve axis with marked enlargement. It infiltrates through the skin, subcutaneous tissue, deep planes, and even cause distortion of growth of the bone. Mollusca fibrosa are small round nodules which may be present in large numbers. Elephantiasis neurofibromatosa is the most impressive manifestation due to its size. In this setting the lesion will lead to massive overgrowth of both the skin and the associated soft tissue. Frequent, repeated surgical excision is performed and can give improvement. But since infiltration is throughout all of the planes of the tissues involved, it can be a long term progressive problem.

Extractions: CASE STUDY No. 10 At the time of his birth, BG was noted to have large brown spots over his abdomen and upper thighs. In the nursery, the pediatrician raises with the parents the possibility that their child may have neurofibromatosis type 1. Before any formal genetic counseling, they quickly go to their nearby library, and using a series of medical reference books, learn to their horror that neurofibromatosis type 1 is a serious, disfiguring genetic disorder associated with a propensity to develop various forms of life-threatening cancers. Attending a multidisciplinary clinic that evaluates children and adults for neurofibromatosis, the staff, including a medical geneticist and a dermatologist, reaffirm their pediatrician's initial concern and attempt to provide detailed medical information to the parents about the potential clinical effects of neurofibromatosis type 1. The parents are informed that neurofibromatosis type 1 is a genetic disorder characterized by: café-au-lait (coffee-with-cream colored) spots of the skin (six or more spots exceeding 5 mm in diameter are considered diagnostic);
