Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that affects the nervous system, causing tumors to form on nerves throughout the body. There are two main types of neurofibromatosis: type 1 (NF1) and type 2 (NF2). NF1 is more common and typically appears in childhood, causing symptoms such as light brown skin patches, skin tumors, and bone deformities. NF2 is less common and usually appears in adolescence or early adulthood, leading to symptoms such as hearing loss, balance problems, and the growth of benign tumors on the nerves responsible for hearing and balance. Treatment for neurofibromatosis focuses on managing symptoms and preventing complications. This may involve regular monitoring, surgery to remove tumors, or other medical actions depending on the individual's symptoms and medical history.
