What are the Early Signs of Neurofibromatosis in Neonates?
Early signs of NF1 in neonates can include multiple café-au-lait spots, which are flat, pigmented birthmarks. Another early indicator can be the presence of neurofibromas, which are benign nerve sheath tumors. Additional signs may include freckling in unusual places such as the armpits or groin and Lisch nodules (tiny pigmented nodules on the iris of the eye).
