History & Symptoms
- Neurofibromatosis 1 is the commonest neurocutaneous autosomal dominant disorder with full penetrance, although expression may not be complete by the age of five years. [1]
- Lisch nodules, however, are predominantly visible in children usually after the age of six years.
- It is important to appreciate that their absence before this age does not pre-empt the diagnosis.
