Neurofibromatosis symptoms
Neurofibromatosis is the name for a disorder that affects the skin and nervous system.
Neurofibromatosis type 1. This condition generally causes skin abnormalities and tumors on nerves (neurofibromas) on or under your skin or in other areas of your body.
Neurofibromatosis type 2.
Neurofibromatosis
Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a term used to describe two completely separate genetic conditions - NF1 and NF2.
Neurofibromatosis Type I
Neurofibromatosis is a multisystem progressive disorder characterized primarily by the growth of benign tumors throughout the body.
Neurofibromatosis 2
Definition
Neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) is a genetic disorder in which tumors form on the nerves of the brain and spine (the central nervous system).

Neurofibromatosis is the name for a number of genetic conditions. It causes multiple tumours that affect the nervous system.
Tumours are abnormal tissue growths. In neurofibromatosis, the tumours are usually non-cancerous, or benign.

What is neurofibromatosis type 2?
Neurofibromatosis type 2 is a disorder characterized by the growth of noncancerous tumors in the nervous system.
Neurofibromas arise from Schwann cells that are homozygous for the inactive version of the NF1 gene, which leads to a complete loss of expression of neurofibromin.
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).
Causes ...
Neurofibromatosis is a disease that affects the development and growth of nerve cell tissues. It causes tumors to grow on nerves (neurofibromas) that lie on or under the skin anywhere in the body.
Neurofibromas (benign tumors consisting of Schwann cells and neural fibroblasts) may be peripheral or central.
Peripheral neurofibromas can develop anywhere along the course of peripheral nerves. Most appear during adolescence. There are 4 forms: ...

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.
Neurofibromas (soft, small rubbery lesions) typically appear during adolescence. Usually they involve the skin but they may appear along nerves and blood vessels.
