Correlations between choroidal abnormalities, Lisch nodules, and age in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1
To evaluate correlations between choroidal abnormalities, Lisch nodules, and age in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), we examined ten cases with NF1 using near-infrared reflectance imaging. Patients ranged in age from 4 to 39 years. The angle used for near-infrared reflectance imaging was 55°. We counted the total number of choroidal abnormalities in an area within a 55° angle cente...
متن کاملChoroidal Abnormalities Detected by Near-Infrared Imaging (NIR) in Pediatric Patients With Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1).
We appreciate the comments by Vagge et al. on our article on choroidal abnormalities related to neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) in pediatric patients, aimed at evaluating the diagnostic performance of this new clinical sign as a diagnostic criterion for NF1. The authors have published an interesting paper on this topic, not included in our discussion because it was unavailable at time of manuscr...
متن کاملThe Skeleton Abnormalities in Patients with Neurofibromatosis Type 1: Important Consequences of Abnormal Gene Function
Neurofibromatosis type 1 [Nf-1, OMIM #1622001], formerly known as von Recklinghausen disease, is one of the most frequent disorders affecting mankind, inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. The relatively high prevalence, with an incidence at birth of approximately one in 2500 to 3500 live births, and a progressive nature of the disorder, notable for its phenotypic variability with almost 10...
متن کاملRetinal microvascular abnormalities overlying choroidal nodules in neurofibromatosis type 1
BACKGROUND Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder involving aberrant proliferation of multiple tissues of neural crest origin. Retinal vascular alterations in NF1 have rarely been reported in the literature and their nature is not clear. This study describes distinctive retinal microvascular alterations and their relationship to choroidal nodules in patients with neuro...
