KYPHOSCOLIOSIS AND NEUROFIBROMATOSIS MARTIN JENTER, D.O., Orthopaedic Resident KIRK DABNEY, M.D., Attending Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon January 31, 1996 CLINICAL CASE PRESENTATION ORTHOPAEDIC DEPARTMENT THE ALFRED I. DUPONT INSTITUTE WILMINGTON, DELAWARE CASE HISTORY: HISTORY: This male child was diagnosed at age 3 with Neurofibromatosis type 1. At the age of eleven years old he presented to the Institute with a complaint of thoracic back pain (1991) after two years of observation of a thoracic scoliosis. PHYSICAL EXAM: His presentation includes multiple cafe-au-lait spots larger than 1.5 cm and Lisch nodules and his mother is diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis type 1. XRAYS: At his first visit the patient was diagnosed with a kyphoscoliosis that measured 62 degrees of a right thoracic T3-T7 curve and a 62 degree thoracic kyphosis . His initial X-rays revealed posterior body scalloping and enlarged foramina consistent with neurofibromatosis . The patient had no known illnesses, showed no evidence of developmental delay and was active in school sports. He denied any neurologic symptoms. TREATMENT: FOLLOW-UP: Physical Findings: Significant findings are the cafe-au-lait spots on torso and extremities, axillary and inguinal freckling, plexiform neuroma right flank, obvious kyphosis and scoliosis with shortened trunk in relation to extremities, ligamentous laxity of fingers and elbow. Gait, reflexes and neuromuscular exam are all normal.

Currently Max suffers from speech problems, numberous cafe au laite spots, UBO's on his brain - these are like the cafe au laites and are not harmful - low muscle tone, a plexiform fibroma on his right elbow and some small learning diabilites. Max is an amazing kid and brother to his 3 yr old twin brothers Anthony and Noah. He works hard at school and with his therapy and is now understood almost 95% of the time! He is a loveable, caring and smart little boy. Who inspires and amazes us daily. Visitor Number Update on Max June 2003 Max had his 2nd 4mth follow up MRI and things again went great!!! The MRI showed no change in the tumor and no other problems. We have now been moved to every 6mths for the MRI's!!! February 2003 Max had his 4mth follow up MRI and things went great!!! The MRI showed that the surgery to create a thrid ventricle has worked and the tumor is stable! So that means no chemo for now!!! We will be having another

Las neurofibromatosis son trastornos genéticos del sistema nervioso que afectan principalmente al desarrollo y crecimiento de los tejidos de las células neurales (nerviosas). Estos trastornos ocasionan tumores que crecen en los nervios y producen otras anormalidades tales como cambios en la piel y deformidades en los huesos. Las neurofibromatosis ocurren en ambos sexos y en todas las razas y grupos étnicos. Los científicos han clasificado los trastornos como neurofibromatosis tipo 1 (NF1) y neurofibromatosis tipo 2 (NF2). Existen otros tipos o variantes de neurofibromatosis, pero éstos no han sido definidos aún.

Today we know that his diagnosis was Proteus syndrome. The cause of neurofibromatosis, or von Recklinghausen disease, is unknown but there is a genetic predisposition. The characteristics present in an infant with simple cafe au lait spots and minimal deformity. In time, this may progress into more massive deformities. Three basic types exists. Plexiform neurofibroma are flat lesions of moderate size which tend to follow the the nerve or nerve axis with marked enlargement. It infiltrates through the skin, subcutaneous tissue, deep planes, and even cause distortion of growth of the bone. Mollusca fibrosa are small round nodules which may be present in large numbers. Elephantiasis neurofibromatosa is the most impressive manifestation due to its size. In this setting the lesion will lead to massive overgrowth of both the skin and the associated soft tissue. Frequent, repeated surgical excision is performed and can give improvement. But since infiltration is throughout all of the planes of the tissues involved, it can be a long term progressive problem.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (also called von Recklinghaus disease ) is a condition that affects the skin, eyes, kidneys, and many other parts of the body. Neurofibromatosis type 2 (also called bilateral acoustic neurofibromatosis ) mainly affects hearing and the central nervous system. Neurofibromatosis Type 1 is ten times more common than Type 2, and it affects about 1 out of 4,000 live births. Boys and girls are equally likely to have either of these conditions.

Help for sleepless parents Encyclopedia Index N neurofibromatosis Search neurofibromatosis Neurofibromatosis is a an autosomal dominant inherited disorder that affects about one in 3,000 individuals. The expression of the gene is variable, meaning that carriers of the disease may be more or less severely affected. Also, there is a high rate of mutation , which means that many new cases arise spontaneously in the embryo and are not inherited from the parents. The hallmark of the disease is the formation of neurofibromas, tumors which arise from any of the nerve types of the body. These tumors can occur anywhere in the body, including within any of the bones. It may be associated with varying degrees of mental retardation, which is related to the underlying disease and not the tumors. The tumors are almost all benign, but may degenerate into malignancies later in life. This disease has an extraordinary variability in its manifestation. A variety of different types of tumors can arise in the skin, nervous system, or in the bones, with a multitude of possible complications. The ususal course of the disease is the appearance in infancy of multiple cafe-au-lait spots. Characteristic skin manifestations appear during childhood or around puberty. These are cafe-au-lait spots or pigmented nevi (common moles). Eventually the adult individual may exhibit the characteristic multiple pendulous masses of skin and fibrous tissue most people associate with the disease.

Neurofibromatosis 2 is a disorder in which tumors called schwannomas are found on nerves in the inner ear. Tumors can also develop on nerves in other areas of the brain or spinal cord. Neurofibromatosis 2 is a subtype of neurofibromatosis Signs and symptoms usually appear during adolescence or in the early 20s. The most common early symptoms are hearing loss, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), and loss of balance caused by tumors growing on the nerve from the ear to the brain. If tumors are growing in other parts of the brain, signs and symptoms vary according to location and can include seizures, changes in vision or sensation, and fluid buildup in the brain. Some people with neurofibromatosis 2 also develop cataracts (clouding of the lens in the eye) at an early age. How common is neurofibromatosis 2?

Neurofibromatosis 1 is a condition in which noncancerous tumors called neurofibromas grow along nerves, primarily in the skin but also in the brain and other parts of the body. Neurofibromatosis 1 is a subtype of neurofibromatosis A symptom often noted within the first year of life is multiple cafe au lait spots, which are spots on the skin that are the color of coffee with milk. These spots increase in size and number as the individual grows older. Freckles under the arms and in the groin develop later in childhood. Neurofibromas are usually located on the skin and may increase in number over time. They may also occur in the spinal cord, or the nerves going out to the rest of the body. Brain tumors called gliomas can also occur. Cancerous tumors occur in about 10 percent of individuals. During childhood, benign growths called Lisch nodules often appear in the iris of the eye. Lisch nodules do not interfere with vision. Another type of tumor, called an optic glioma, can occur on the nerve from the eye to the brain and cause decreased vision or total vision loss.

Treatments of both generally involve taking care of the symptoms. Neurofibromatosis Definition Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder of the nervous system. It causes tumors to grow on nerves and produces other abnormalities such as skin changes and bone deformities. It occurs in 1 in every 3,000 to 4,000 births. Symptoms may appear as early as birth, but usually by age 10. Most symptoms are mild and people can lead normal and productive lives. However, some symptoms can be severely debilitating. About 50 percent of the people affected with NF have a prior family history. Neurofibromatosis has been divided into two types, NF1 and NF2.
