There is no particular treatment for NF. There are two forms NF-1 and NF-2. These disorders are commonly related to abnormal genes and can be inherited. NF-1 results in neurofibromas (nerve growths), cafe au lait spots (dark birth marks), abnormal growths in the iris (colored part of the eye), and abnormal growths in the brain may also occur. There are other various features as well. In NF-2 most patients develop growths on the hearing nerves. If you or your child has this disorder I would recommend a consult with a neurologist. Good luck.
