Neurofibromatosis has no specific treatment. Management consists of surgical removal of intracerebral or intraspinal tumors (when possible) and correction of kyphoscoliosis. Tumors that cause pain and loss of function are removed on an individual basis.
Cosmetic surgery for disfiguring or disabling growths may be done; however, regrowth is likely. Special schooling for individuals with learning disorders or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder may be required. Annual eye exams should be performed.
Researchers are currently investigating experimental treatments for severe tumors.
