Imaging Review of Neurofibromatosis: Helpful Aspects for Early Detection
Neurofibromatosis (NF) is divided into two types, NF type 1 and NF type 2. Optic nerve gliomas have a high degree of association with NF type 1. NF 2, less commonly seen, is a complex of cutaneous and deep neural tumors. It is an autosomal dominant familial disorder in which CNS is affected in about 15% of the cases. Bilateral acoustic neuromas are pathognomonic of NF type 2 which may be associ...

متن کاملClinical and genetic patterns of neurofibromatosis 1 and 2.
General introduction to the neurofibromatoses The diseases traditionally known as neurofibromatosis have now been formally separated into two types: neurofibromatosis type 1 or NFl (the type described by von Recklinghausen) and neurofibromatosis type 2 or NF2 (a much rarer form).' It is now recognised that although they have overlapping features, including an inherited propensity to neurofibrom...
متن کاملMultimodal Imaging in Neurofibromatosis Type 1-associated Nerve Sheath Tumors.
UNLABELLED Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a neurogenetic disorder. Individuals with NF1 may develop a variety of benign and malignant tumors of which peripheral nerve sheath tumors represent the most frequent entity. Plexiform neurofibromas may demonstrate a locally destructive growth pattern, may cause severe symptoms and may undergo malignant transformation into malignant peripheral nerve ...
