Abstract

The article presents modern data on a problem of neurofibromatosis as one of the most widespread hereditary disease. The history of studying of this disease is given. Several classifications, epidemiology, and genetics are given in the paper. The author analyzes the variety of clinical signs of NF1 and its diagnostic criteria in details. Taking into consideration the variety of lesions at NF1 the required methods and number of examinations are discussed. Paper provides possible approaches to the treatment of NF1 including surgical.
