Guest guest Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 -- Barbara Although multiple cafe-au-lait spots are the diagnostic hallmark of neurofibromatosis-1 Neurofibromatosis 2 - Many people with nf2 have them also. light complexions they are the color of coffee with milk In dark-skinned individuals these spots may be difficult to see Hope you can get pictures Check whole body Don't have to be this large can be very small like the size of a pea. And they can be darker in color. The skin lesions develop in early infancy. They may enlarge in size and become obvious after age 2 years. I would also look for white skin patches ( depigmented patches) Not usely with nf2 but a number of nf2 people have them. Don't have to be this big but can be bigger Proper assessment of the child with a learning disorder and behavioural difficulties is vital. children with autistic spectrum disorders ???? Question any children with lazy eye. If parent has nf2.
