Childhood neurofibromatosis.
Neurofibromatosis is a multifaceted progressive genetic disorder with no known cure. Although early identification is desirable, it is seldom possible since signs and symptoms may take years to manifest sufficiently to confirm a diagnosis. Careful monitoring by a consistent health care provider improves the chances of patient and family receiving appropriate information and care.
