چکیده
This review highlights the diagnostic criteria and neuro-ophthalmic symptoms and signs of the more commonly seen neurocutaneous disorders, including NF1 and NF2, tuberous sclerosis, VHL disease, Sturge-Weber disease, and AT. The distinct neuro-ophthalmic features in each of these hereditary and congenital disorders play an important role in clinical diagnosis.

Less consistently, there may be non-neurological manifestations that include ophthalmic, musculoskeletal, craniofacial, cardiac, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal involvements.

متن کاملAn Update on the Ophthalmologic Features in the Phakomatoses
Neurofibromatosis type 1, tuberous sclerosis complex, and Von Hippel-Lindau disease, historically classified as the phakomatoses, are hereditary multisystem disorders characterized by the presence of hamartoma, which carry the risk of malignant transformation. The alteration of tumor suppressor genes seems to be at the basis of their pathophysiogenetic mechanism. Lisch and choroidal nodules in ...
متن کاملNeurocutaneous syndromes and epilepsy-issues in diagnosis and management.
Epilepsy may be seen as a feature of many of the neurocutaneous syndromes. The challenge lies within the diagnosis of the specific disorder and ultimately control of the epilepsy. Tuberous sclerosis is the most common of the disorders with a frequency of 4.9/100,000. An autosomal-dominant condition, diagnostic features may be unclear under 2 years of age. Population studies suggest a prevalence...
متن کاملOphthalmic Alterations in the Sturge-Weber Syndrome, Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome, and the Phakomatosis Pigmentovascularis: An Independent Group of Conditions?
The phakomatoses have been traditionally defined as a group of hereditary diseases with variable expressivity characterized by multisystem tumors with possible malignant transformation. The Sturge-Weber syndrome, Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, and the phakomatosis pigmentovascularis have the facial port-wine stain in common. Numerous pathophysiogenetic mechanisms have been suggested such as venous...
متن کاملEmbryology of the neural crest: its inductive role in the neurocutaneous syndromes.
Neural crest cells are first recognized at the lateral margin of the neural placode shortly after gastrulation, although they are not committed to their diverse fates until later. After dorsal closure of the neural tube, neural crest cells separate and migrate throughout the embryo to form many structures of ectodermal origin (eg, dorsal root and autonomic ganglia, peripheral nerve sheaths) and...
