 My Angel with NF   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
NF1, formerly called Von Recklinghausen NF after the German physician who recognized the neurological component of the disorder in 1882, refers to the common form of NF with skin lesions.
The severity of NF ranges from extremely mild cases in which only signs of the disorder in adulthood may be multiple cafe-au-lait spots and a few dermal neurofibromas, to more severe cases in which serious complications may arise.
There is no way to predict the severity of NF, although the majority of people with NF (probably 60%) have mild forms of the disorder and lead healthy and productive lives.
