Overview
Neurofibromatosis type 1 manifestations vary widely among patients , from individuals with absent symptoms to rapidly progessive disorders. The most common complication of neurofibromatosis type 1 is disfigurement due to skin lesions Prognosis will depend on the number of commorbidities, but it is usually moderately good. Life expectancy is usually reduced by 8-12 years, beign malignant tumors the most common cause of death.
History and Symptoms
History
- Manifestations vary widely among patients with neurofibromatosis type 1, from individuals with absent symptoms to rapidly progessive disorders.[1]
- Characteristics of neurofibromatosis type 1 appear at different ages,[1][2][3][4] among them:
- Bone manifestations appear from birth.[1]
- Plexiform neurofibromas appear usually around 1 year of age.[1]
- Cafe au lait spots appear in the first 5 years of life.[1]
- Optic gliomas develope in the first 6 years of life.[1]
- Scoliosis develops between age 6 and 10.[1]
- Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors usually usually appear around adolescence or adulthood.[1]
- People with neurofibromatosis type 1 tend to grow below average in height and above average in head circumference.[5][6][7][1]
- Precocious puberty and delayed puberty is more common in individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 than the general population.[8][9][10][1]
Complications
- Common complications of neurofibromatosis type 1 include:
- Depression and social anxiety[11]
- Chronic pain, numbness, and/or paralysis due to the peripheral nerve sheath tumors[11]
- Blindness due to optic nerve gliomas[11]
- Amputation due to a tibial pseudarthrosis[11]
- Disfigurement due to skin lesions[11]
- Brain tumors[11]
- Wandering problems due to scoliosis and/or kyphosis[11]
- Malignant degeneration of neurofibromas into malignant periphreal nerve sheath tumor (this occurs in 10-12% of the cases)[11]
Common Symptoms
Common symptoms of neurofibromatosis type 1 include:
