Neurofibromatosis happens. It is abbreviated as NF.
It comes in two flavours:
- NF1 (peripheral).
- NF2 (central).
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]
- Bilateral CNVIII masses on imaging.
- Unilateral CNVIII mass + first-degree relative with NF2.
- First-degree relative with NF2 and 2/4 of the following:
- Meningioma (meningothelial meningioma).[3]
- Glioma.
- Schwannoma.
- Juvenile cataract.
