Neurofibromatosis Type 1 and Type 2 – Mayo Clinic administrator 5 Views • 2 years ago

Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that causes tumors to form on nerve tissue throughout the body. Visit http://mayocl.in/2rc1kVs for more information on neurofibromatosis type 1 and type 2 care or request an appointment.

Neurofibromatosis (NF-1) affects 1 in 2,500 people and often produces cutaneous tumors or tumors affecting the skin. Neurofibromatosis (NF-2) affects 1 in 30,000 people and produces other types of central nervous tumors, most commonly an acoustic neuroma (vestibular schwannoma). While there is currently no cure, there is treatment and advanced care for NF-1 and NF-2 patients.

At Mayo Clinic, multidisciplinary teams of experts work together on complex and rare conditions, including NF1 and NF2. Using the latest in medical innovations and research, these teams include neuro-oncologists, neurosurgeons, plastic surgeons and others.

Dr. Maciej Mrugala, neuro-oncologist; Dr. Radhika Dhamija, neuro-geneticist; Dr. Raman Mahabir, plastic surgeon; and Dr. Alyx Porter, neuro-oncologist; from the Neurofibromatosis Clinic at Mayo Clinic in Arizona provide an overview of NF1 and NF2, treatment options including Proton Beam, and the importance of collaborative care for neurofibromatosis patients.

Fighting NF2 | The Salazar Family Success Story administrator 4 Views • 2 years ago

This is one of our most unique and memorable stories captured on video—Fighting NF2: The Salazar Family Success Story. NF2 is a rare genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow along the nerves which can lead to various hearing, balance, and other physical issues. In partnership with the Change Reaction, the House Institute was able to bring patients Emit and Eleah Salazar from Texas to House Institute in LA for treatment. Join us in watching them overcome their struggle with NF2 and in providing hope for all those burdened by the disease.

Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a group of three conditions in which tumors grow in the nervous system.[1] The three types are neurofibromatosis type I (NF1), neurofibromatosis type II (NF2), and schwannomatosis.[1] In NF1 symptoms include light brown spots on the skin, freckles in the armpit and groin, small bumps within nerves, and scoliosis.[2] In NF2, there may be hearing loss, cataracts at a young age, balance problems, flesh colored skin flaps, and muscle wasting.[2] In schwannomatosis there may be pain either in one location or in wide areas of the body.[3] The tumors in NF are generally non-cancerous.[1]

The cause is a genetic mutation in certain oncogenes.[1] These can be inherited from a person's parents, or in about half of cases spontaneously occur during early development.[1] Different mutations result in the three types of NF.[4] Neurofibromatosis arise from the supporting cells of the nervous system rather than the neurons themselves.[1] In NF1, the tumors are neurofibromas (tumors of the peripheral nerves), while in NF2 and schwannomatosis tumors of Schwann cells are more common.[1] Diagnosis is typically based on symptoms, examination, medical imaging, and biopsy.[5][3] Genetic testing may rarely be done to support the diagnosis.[2]

There is no known prevention or cure.[1][2] Surgery may be done to remove tumors that are causing problems or have become cancerous.[1] Radiation and chemotherapy may also be used if cancer occurs.[1] A cochlear implant or auditory brainstem implant may help some who have hearing loss due to the condition.[1]

In the United States, about 1 in 3,500 people have NF1 and 1 in 25,000 have NF2.[1] Males and females are affected equally often.[2] In NF1, symptoms are often present at birth or develop before 10 years of age.[1] While the condition typically worsens with time, most people with NF1 have a normal life expectancy.[1] In NF2, symptoms may not become apparent until early adulthood.[1] NF2 increases the risk of early death.[1] Descriptions of the condition occur as far back as the 1st century.[6] It was formally described by Friedrich Daniel von Recklinghausen in 1882, after whom it was previously named.[4]
