Neurofibromatosis 1 in twins: A case report

Von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis (NF-1) is the most common form of neurofibromatosis, accounting for 90% of cases. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion and has the prevalence between 1 per 3000 and 1 per 5000, making it one of the most common autosomal dominant conditions in humans. The paper reports a case of twins with neurofibromatosis-1 and anisomyopia with amblyopia in one of the children. Considering the poor sight due to anisomyopia in the examined twins, neurofibromatosis-1 was also discovered. Ophthalmic examination is an essential part of the screening process. .
