    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Genetics
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder affecting nerve tissue growth.
    • Skeletal abnormalities are common manifestations of neurofibromatosis.
    • Fibular pseudoarthrosis and tibial bowing are significant orthopedic challenges.

    Observation:

    • A case report of a patient presenting with congenital fibular pseudoarthrosis and ipsilateral tibial bowing.
    • Diagnostic imaging (X-ray) and histopathological analysis (biopsy) were utilized.
    • Clinical presentation indicated a potential underlying genetic syndrome.

    Findings:

    • Radiographic evidence and biopsy results confirmed the diagnosis of neurofibromatosis.
    • The patient exhibited characteristic bone manifestations associated with the disease.
    • The combination of fibular pseudoarthrosis and tibial bowing highlights specific orthopedic sequelae.

    Implications:

    • Early diagnosis of neurofibromatosis is crucial for managing skeletal complications.
    • Understanding bone manifestations aids in orthopedic surgical planning and patient care.
    • This case underscores the importance of recognizing diverse clinical presentations of neurofibromatosis.
