However, they differ in type of genetic disorder, age of clinical onset, manifestations, management and prognosis. Due to multisystem involvement, a multidisciplinary treatment approach that includes research is ideal. This book provides a systematic, comprehensive and updated outline of Neurofibromatosis. It is a useful reference for clinicians, researchers and students.
