What are the different symptoms of neurofibromatosis?

Symptoms of neurofibromatosis vary depending on whether the patient has neurofibomatosis type 1 (NF1), type 2 neurofibomatosis (NF2) or schwannomatosis. Symptoms of NF1 include the occurrence of bumps called neurofibromas on the skin, six or more brown spots on the skin surface and deformity of the spine, skull or tibia, a bone in the shin. Symptoms of NF2 include weakness or numbness in the limbs, hearing loss and poor balance. The main symptoms of schwannomatosis are pain and general numbness or weakness that occur throughout the body. Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disease, which means it is inherited. Symptoms of neurofibomatosis in children range from cosmetic problems such as brown spots on the skin, to serious problems such as impaired learning and abnormal bone growth. Sometimes children develop pih areas in their weaknesses and armpits at the age of Five. NF1 causes neurofibromas, benign nerve tumors that occur as bumps under the patient's skin. Children with NF1, JSOU often shorter than average, but have skulls that are larger than usual.

neurofibromatosis type 2 usually arise in late adolescence or young maturity. This type of neurofibomatosis is manifested due to tumors that develop on the skull nerve number eight, which is important for balance and hearing. Patients suffering from NF2 experience a gradual loss of hearing and sometimes tinnitus, a ringing heard in the ears. Other symptoms of neurofibromatosis associated with NF2 are the loss of coordination and balance. In NF2, other tumors may develop throughout the body, especially on optical or spinal nerves. Symptoms of neurofibomatosis in adults cause problems such as cataracts and weakness, as well as the dullness that affects legs and arms.

The third type of neurofibomatosis, schwannomatosis, was originally considered a variant of NF2, but since then it has been recognized as a type for itself. The advent of schwannomatosis tends totake place when the patient is at the age of 20 or 30. In its symptomatology, schwannomatosis is similar to NF2 in that it can cause tumors to grow to the backbone, optical and peripheral nerves, but unlike NF2, it does not affect the nerve number eight and does not cause hearing loss. Schwannomatosis is thus named because it causes the development of schwannomas, tumors that grow on nerves and sometimes large enough to push these nerves, causing chronic pain throughout the patient's body. Other symptoms of neurofibromatosis associated with schwannomatosis include weakness, dullness and tingling in the patient's fingers and fingers.
