There are two main types of Neurofibromatosis known as NF1 and NF2. The former also goes under the name of Von Recklinghausens disease and the latter as bilateral acoustic NF. Of the two NF1 is the most common. The symptoms for NF1 will usually present in early childhood and one of the telltale signs is the appearance of coffee coloured birthmarks commonly referred to as caf-au-lait spots. These spots are actually present when the child s born but increase in size, number and pigmentation during the first few years of the childs life.
