Neurofibroma is an autosomal dominant disease, which can be divided into neurofibromatosis type I) NFI* * and type II) NF II. This article will introduce the examination and treatment of neurofibroma.

test method

X-ray plain film shows various skeletal deformities; Myelography, CT and MRI can find tumors in the central nervous system. Brainstem auditory evoked potential has great diagnostic value for acoustic neuroma. Gene analysis can determine the types of NFI and NF ⅱ.

therapeutic method

Neurofibromatosis cannot be completely cured. Intracranial and intraspinal tumors such as acoustic neuroma and optic neuroma can be treated by surgery, some patients can be treated by radiotherapy, and epileptic authors can be treated with antiepileptic drugs. Pregnancy will accelerate the growth of acoustic neuroma. Ketotifen inhibits histamine release from mast cells. After 30 ~ 40 months of treatment, some patients' itching and local tenderness can be relieved.

Family inheritance

This disease is an autosomal dominant disease, and 50% of its children may get sick, so sterilization should be considered. At the same time, we should pay attention to self-monitoring. If the tumor is found to grow rapidly in a short period of time, it may become malignant. When there are serious complications such as intracranial tumor, bleeding caused by digestive tract involvement, intestinal obstruction, or heavy internal organs caused by huge retroperitoneal neurofibroma, surgery is needed.
