Neurofibromatosis is a genetic conditions, also known as von Recklinghausen's disease. It is abbreviated as NF.

It comes in several flavours:

  1. Neurofibromatosis type 1 - NF1 (peripheral).
  2. Neurofibromatosis type 2 - NF2 (central).
  3. Neurofibromatosis type 3 - Schwannomatosis.

Neurofibromatosis type 1

  • Autosomal dominant.

Diagnosis

Features (need 2/7 to diagnose):[1]

  1. Two or more neurofibromas or one plexiform neurofibroma.
  2. Café-au-lait spots.
  3. Freckles in axilla or inguinal area.
  4. Optic nerve glioma.
  5. Iris hamartomas (Lisch nodules).
  6. Sphenoid dysplasia or typical long-bone abnormalities (e.g. bowing).
  7. First-degree relative with NF1.

Mnemonic

Diagnostic criteria CAFE SPOT:[2]

  • Café-au-lait spots.
  • Axillary or inguinal freckling.
  • neuroFibroma (two or more) or plexiform neurofibroma (one).
  • Eye hamartomas (Lisch nodules).
  • Skeletal abnormalities, e.g. sphenoid dysplasia, leg bowing.
  • Positive family history. †
  • Optic Tumour (optic nerve glioma).

Note:

  • † One could include paraganglioma here.

Others

Possible association

Neurofibromatosis type 2

  • Caused by mutations in the NF2 gene;[7] this gene is also known as merlin.[8]
  • Reduced life expectancy.
  • Mean age at diagnosis: 35years.

Diagnosis

Features (need 1/3 to diagnose):[9]

  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:
    1. Meningioma (meningothelial meningioma) up to 50% of the cases.[10]
    2. Glioma, mostly spinal ependymomas (up tp 20% of NF2 cases affected).
    3. Schwannoma.
    4. Juvenile cataract.

Mnemonic MISME:[11]

Other:

  • Cerebral microhamartomas.
  • Schwannosis (Schwann cell proliferations).
  • Peripheral neuropathy.


Meningioangiomatosis

  • Cortical proliferations of meningeothelial cells around small vessels.
  • May occur within NF2 and sporadic.
  • Associated with seizures and/or headaches.
    • Often asymptomatic.

Schwannomatosis

  • Autosomal dominant.
  • Prevalence: 1:155000 (UK).
  • Distinct entity from NF2, mainly due to absence of vestibular schwannomas.
  • Mean age at diagnosis: 40years.
  • Life expectancy better compared to NF2.

Diagnosis

Features:[12]

  1. Two or more non-intradermal schwannomas.
  2. Radiological exclusion of vestibular schwannoma.
  3. NF2-mutation excluded.
  4. One schwannoma or meningioma and one relative with confirmed schwannomatosis.
  5. Germline SMARCB1 or LZTR1 variant and histologically confirmed schwannoma or meningioma.

IHC

  • INI1 mosaic pattern in schwannomas.[13]
