Abstract:
Neurofibromatosis is classified into two types. Type 1, NF1 or von Recklinghausen's disease, consists of skin and bone lesions as well as central nervous system tumours arising at the expense of glial tissue: optic tract gliomas, glioblastomas, astrocytomas and "hamartomas". Type 2 consists almost exclusively of CNS tumours arising at the expense of nerve envelopes: Schwannomas, meningiomas.
