Identification of new optic pathway tumors (OPTs) and progression of pre-existing OPTs in children with neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) have been reported infrequently after age 6. The authors present eight children with NF1 (mean age 12.2 years) seen in three NF1 centers who had either late-onset (four of eight) or late-progressive (seven of eight) OPT. Continued monitoring of individuals with NF1 into adulthood for the development of OPTs and for progression of known OPTs is warranted.
据报道,6岁以后,1型神经纤维瘤病(NF1)患儿中新发视神经通路肿瘤(OPT)的识别及既往存在的OPT进展情况鲜有报道。本文作者介绍了在三个NF1中心就诊的8名NF1患儿(平均年龄12.2岁),他们患有迟发性(8例中的4例)或迟发性进展性(8例中的7例)OPT。有必要对NF1患者持续监测至成年,以观察OPT的发生及已知OPT的进展情况。
