Neurological Problems

Since neurofibromatosis affects the nervous system, neurological problems develop. The most typical signs include headaches, migraines and nerve pain, which occur more often in people with NF1. Additionally, some patients develop seizures which can be dangerous and cause long-term complications.

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Strokes is studying the condition to develop management strategies for individuals with NF1, NF2 and SWN. In addition, more research is needed to find the connection between the different conditions associated with neurofibromatosis.
