Neurofibromatosis
Neurofibromatosis is a rare genetic disorder of the nervous system which mainly affects the formation and growth of nerve cells. It causes tumors to grow on nerves and has genetic roots. There are three types of neurofibromatosis: Type 1 (NF1) causes skin changes and deformed bones. It is usually diagnosed in childhood, even symptoms maybe present at birth. Type 2 (NF2) causes hearing loss, ringing in the ears, and poor balance. Symptoms often start in the teen years or audulthood. Schwannomatosis causes intense pain. It is the rarest type. Unfortunately, there is currently no known treatment or cure for neurofibromatosis. In some cases, growths may be removed surgically or reduced with radiation therapy.
