[Place of the otorhinolaryngologist in the multidisciplinary approach to neurofibromatosis].
Neurofibromatosis is one of the most common inherited human disorders. Two types have been recognized, NF 1 and NF 2. Clinical and genetic aspects of the disease clear the way to the aims and indications of the multidisciplinary approach of the neurofibromatosis patients and their families. To study the uniformity of patient management (protocol), a number of Belgian and Dutch medical centres were contacted. Great importance is attached to the common as well as the varying points of these protocols. We emphasize the part played by the ENT specialist in the multidisciplinary approach of neurofibromatosis type 1 and 2.
