Objectives:
The goal of this study was to review and present neurosurgical related activity within a multidisciplinary nationally commissioned specialty neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) center.
Patients & Methods:
We reviewed all NF1 Neurosurgical MDTs, NF1 Neurosurgical clinics and all neurosurgical procedures carried out in NF1 patients over an 8-year period.
Results:
Since the inception of the service in 2009, 1505 cases were discussed at our NF-1 multidisciplinary meeting, 171 clinic appointments in complex NF1 patients with neurosurgical pathologies and 43(cranial and spinal) operations were performed.
Conclusions:
The formation of a supraregional multidisciplinary team allows for a better understanding of the disease, a comprehensive evaluation of neuroimaging findings and a steep learning curve in the management of NF1 surgical conditions. We provide holistic treatment for these patients via direct care, specialist advice and liaison with local units.
