It comes in two flavours:

  1. NF1 (peripheral).

NF1

Features (need 2/7 to diagnose):[1]

  • Two or more neurofibromas or one plexiform neurofibroma.
  • Café-au-lait spots.
  • Freckles in axilla or inguinal area.
  • Optic nerve glioma.
  • Iris hamartomas (Lisch nodules).
  • Sphenoid dysplasia or typical long-bone abnormalities (e.g. bowing).
  • First-degree relative with NF1.

NF2

Features (need 1/3 to diagnose):[2]

  1. Bilateral CNVIII masses on imaging.
  2. Unilateral CNVIII mass + first-degree relative with NF2.
  3. First-degree relative with NF2 and 2/4 of the following:
    1. Meningioma (meningothelial meningioma).[3]
    2. Glioma.
