Neurofibromatosis Syndrome Treatment in Ayurveda

Neurofibromatosis Syndrome: A rare genetic disorder, is a condition that causes defects in the nervous system. Neurofibromatosis Syndrome is a disorder in which, a tumor forms on nerve tissue.

These tumors develop anywhere in your nervous system such as the brain, spinal cord and anywhere in nerves. This disease is identified by dark skin patches and tumors on the nerves. These tumors are usually benign (non-cancerous) but sometimes it converts to malignant (cancerous). The symptoms depend on the types of neurofibroma.

Types of Neurofibromatosis Syndrome

1. Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1)
2. Neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2)
3. Schwannomatosis

1. Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1)

It develops itself at birth or during early childhood. NF1 is characterized by multiple light brown spots in the groin and underarm, when people with NF1 may develop tumors in the brain, on the cranial nerves or spinal cord. It mostly affects the central nervous system. Its complications include optic nerve glioma results in visual loss, scoliosis, and vascular lesions.

2. Neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2)

Develops during childhood, or early adulthood. NF2 is less common than NF1, characterized by benign tumors on the nerves of both the ears that transmit sound impulses and signals from the inner ears to the brain. These tumors commonly affect both the left and right, i.e. bilateral auditory nerves are hearing nerves.

3. Schwannomatosis

It is a rare type of neurofibromatosis. It develops on the cranial and spinal nerves. Researcher shows that it is a  genetic disease. This disorder causes chronic pain, and more frequently diagnosed in adults aged 30 or older.

Symptoms  of  Neurofibromatosis

1. Neurofibromatosis 1

• NF1 Causes flat and brown spots on the skin, which are harmless spots and found commonly in many people, they appear at the time of birth and persist.
• Neurofibromas i.e bumps under the skin, a benign tumor, which usually is developed under the skin but also grows inside the body. Sometimes, NF1 may involve multiple nerves i.e. plexiform neurofibroma.
• Freckles (A pale brown spot) in the armpits or in the groin area,  freckling usually appears between the age group of 3-5.
• Nodules form in the iris of the eyes, which can’t be easily seen by the naked eye but don’t affect the vision.
• The benign tumor develops on the optic nerve, the tumor usually appears by the age of 3, rarely in late childhood but never seen in adults.
• Children with NF 1, tend to have a larger head size due to an increase in brain volume.
• With NF1,  Impaired thinking skills. This symptom is usually mild.

2. Neurofibromatosis 2

NF 2 is not very common. It usually shows the development of benign, slow-growing tumors in both the ears. These tumors grow on the nerve that balances the information from the inner ear to the brain, this condition is called vestibular schwannomas.

 Signs and Symptoms of NF2

• Headache
• Ringing in the ear
• Numbness in the legs and arms
• Vision problems like cataracts

In this new fibromatosis, the tumor develops on the skull (cranial nerves) or the spinal nerves but it does not involve in the sound and balancing information. The tumor doesn’t grow on the hearing nerves, so schwannomatosis doesn’t cause hearing loss.

Symptoms of Schwannomatosis

• Muscles destruction
• Chronic pain
• Numbness in various parts of the body.

Causes of Neurofibromatosis Syndrome

People get suffered from neurofibromatosis, which is due to mutations in the genes i.e. genetic defect. There are specific genes involved in a different  type of neurofibromatosis:

Basically, the NF1 gene is located on chromosome 17, produces neurofibromin protein. If a mutation occurs in that gene, uncontrolled cell growth occurs.

NF2 gene is located on chromosome 22,  produces a merlin protein called, merlin or schwannoma, which suppresses tumors. The mutation causes a loss of merlin, leading to uncontrolled cell growth.

Schwannomatosis,  Mutations in the genes both, SMARCB1 and LZTR1.

Diagnosis of Neurofibromatosis Syndrome

NF1 and NF2 can be diagnosed by physical examination as well as family history is also important.
