  • Freckles in axilla or inguinal area.
  • Optic nerve glioma.
  • Iris hamartomas (Lisch nodules).
  • Sphenoid dysplasia or typical long-bone abnormalities (e.g. bowing).
  • First-degree relative with NF1.

NF2

Features (need 1/3 to diagnose):[2]

  1. Bilateral CNVIII masses on imaging.
  2. Unilateral CNVIII mass + first-degree relative with NF2.
  3. First-degree relative with NF2 and 2/4 of the following:
