Nörofibromatozis
Özet
Nörofibromatozis; santral ve periferik sinir sistemi başta olmak üzere cilt, kemik ve kas-iskelet sistemini etkileyen, sıklıkla otozomal dominant kalıtılan multisistemik bir nörokütanöz hastalıktır. Hastalık, NF1, NF2, Schwannomatoz ve Legius sendromu gibi farklı klinik formlarla kendini gösterir ve tanı süreci detaylı klinik değerlendirme ile radyolojik veya genetik incelemeleri içerir. Malign tümör gelişimi, öğrenme güçlükleri ve kardiyovasküler problemler gibi ciddi komplikasyonlar nedeniyle erken teşhis ve multidisipliner takip hayati öneme sahiptir. Kesin bir tedavisi olmamakla birlikte, semptomatik yaklaşımlar ve kişiselleştirilmiş cerrahi veya medikal müdahalelerle morbidite yönetilmektedir.
Neurofibromatosis is a multisystem neurocutaneous disorder, typically inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, that affects the central and peripheral nervous systems, skin, bones, and musculoskeletal system. It manifests in various forms, including NF1, NF2, Schwannomatosis, and Legius syndrome, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach for diagnosis through clinical evaluation, imaging, and genetic testing. The condition presents risks for serious complications like malignant tumors, cognitive impairments, and cardiovascular issues, making early detection and ongoing monitoring essential. As there is no definitive cure, management focuses on symptomatic care and personalized interventions to address specific complications and improve quality of life.
