                                          Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that primarily impacts the nervous system and skin, leading to the formation of benign tumours, also known as neurofibromas. Neurofibromatosis can be categorised into three main types and arises due to mutations in certain genes linked to cell growth and differentiation. Even though this condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, nearly half of the cases occur spontaneously due to unknown genetic mutations.

                                          Chennai has seen many instances of this genetic disorder. Apollo Hospitals has dedicated neurofibromatosis doctors and treatment specialists providing comprehensive care for patients with this condition. The hospital prides itself in having some of the best doctors for Neurofibromatosis treatment offering world-class care.

                                          Types/Stages of Neurofibromatosis

                                          There are three primary types of neurofibromatosis:

                                          • Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1): The most widespread form, constituting around almost all of the cases. Numerous café au lait spots, benign tumours under the skin and an increased risk of other health issues define it.

                                          • Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2): A less prevalent form, it is characterised by bilateral vestibular schwannomas (VS) and other benign tumours in the brain and spinal cord.

                                          • Schwannomatosis (SWN): This is an exceptional form characterised by multiple schwannomas, benign tumours that proliferate on nerve roots and spinal nerves.

                                          Symptoms of Neurofibromatosis

                                          Symptoms of neurofibromatosis can vary according to the type and severity of the condition. Here are some common symptoms:

                                          • Café au lait spots are flat, light brown birthmarks that can occur anywhere on the skin

                                          • Neurofibromas or benign tumours that grow under the skin, ranging from small and round to larger and more complex

                                          • Bone deformities and conditions such as scoliosis due to tumour growth in the spine
