Q

Presentation of NF1

A

Often presents in first year of life and increase in number with age
Leads to multiple tumours that grow along the NS anywhere in the body
Skin lesions
- multiple neurofibromas (skin coloured lesions) and cafe au lai macules
- freckling, particularly in skin folds
Neuro dermatofibromas arise from nerve trunks and can cause paraesthesia when pressed
Lisch nodules (seen on eye with slit lamp)
Short stature
Macrocephaly
Around 30% develop
- Mild learning disability
- Acoustic neuromas
- epilepsy
