Neurofibromatosis Program

Overview

The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) program is a multidisciplinary center for the diagnosis and treatment of NF1, providing surveillance and treatment of NF-related problems. One of the oldest programs in the country, the CHOP NF1 clinic was founded in 1979 by Dr. Elaine Zackai, Director of Clinical Genetics, and Dr. Anna Meadows, Director of Cancer Survivorship Program. Over the years, it has grown to involve a large team of dedicated physicians with multiple subspecialties including Genetics, Pediatrics, Ophthalmology, Orthopedics, Neuro-Oncology and Neuro-Ophthalmology. The NF1 team works closely with community pediatricians, schools and families to provide support and medical guidance for these children and families.
