Neurofibromatosis-1 is the more common form of neurofibromatosis, occurring in 1 in 4,000 births. Also known as von Recklinghausen disease, neurofibromatosis-1 is long lasting (chronic).
Neurofibromatosis type 2 is a different story. NF 2 affects about one in every 50,000 births and is more severe on every level. With NF2, patients may develop tumors on the nerves in their ears, eventually causing deafness.
Neurofibromatosis-1 is an inherited disorder in which nerve tissue tumors (neurofibromas) form in the skin, bottom layer of skin (subcutaneous tissue), and nerves from the brain (cranial nerves) and spinal cord (spinal root nerves).

NF2. A genetic condition in which tumors form on the nerves of the inner ear and cause loss of hearing and balance.
About 7 out of every 100 acoustic neuromas are caused by neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). NF2 is a very rare genetic disorder that causes benign tumours of the nervous system. It affects about 1 in 350,000 people.
