ABSTRACT
Exist different types of neurofibromatosis: type 1 (NF1), type 2 (NF2) and type 3 (NF3). NF1 and NF2 are inherited genetic disorder of dominant autosomal way, in the NF1 such behavior it’s on a 50% and the other half for a mutation de
novo. The prevalence of the NF1 is 1:2500-4000 people, and characteristic of the NF2 is the presence of
café au lait spots, peripheral neurofibromas, Lisch nodules, axillary and inguinal freckling and degenerative osteoarthritis. The NF2 it note is with manifestation in the central nervous system (SNC) and high level of tumoral Genesis. The NF3 is also known as the mixed form. Inside of the complications of the neurofibromatosis it found that they are related with tumors and the one who doesn’t have a relationship with the same. It present in a case of a girl of 17 years old which come to the General Hospital of Minatitlan for presenting multiple epileptic crisis secondary to intracranial neurofibromas. In base of medical research, with the published criteria for the NIH in 1988 and the revealed lesions for the TAC it concludes that the case it’s above neurofibromatosis type 3 or mixed case.
