Neurofibromatosis
Clinic
The Neurofibromatosis Clinic is a multidisciplinary
clinic which is a joint effort of the Department of Molecular & Human
Genetics at Baylor College of Medicine and the Texas
Children's Hospital.
Patients in the Neurofibromatosis
Clinic are seen by physicians in the subspecialities
of Genetics, Ophthalmology, Dermatology, Neurology,
and Neurosurgery. Patients are seen by the necessary
subspecialist regarding any change in status and
then referred on to a particular subspecialist
for additional treatment as required.
Patients with a diagnosis of Neurofibromatosis
I, Neurofibromatosis II, Von Hippel Lindau, and
Tuberous Sclerosis are all followed in the Neurofibromatosis
Clinic. Case management and ongoing counseling
are provided as well as new information concerning
advances in treatment and testing for these disorders.
