Longitudinal changes in choroidal abnormalities in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Abstract: We present two cases of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) with near-infrared reflectance (NIR) findings to analyze if the number of choroidal abnormalities　increases over time. During a 3-year follow-up period, NIR findings showed no change in the choroidal lesions in one patient, while those in the second patient increased. Our findings may contribute to a better understanding of the natural course of NF1. Keywords: neurofibromatosis type 1, near-infrared reflectance, choroidal abnormality, longitudinal study.
