At Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), we recognize children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) require specialized care from pediatric experts who have extensive experience with these genetic disorders. You’ll find that high level of care at CHOP’s Neurofibromatosis Program. Our team works closely with your family, your pediatrician and your child's school to provide support and medical guidance for children with NF1 and NF2.

NF can affect multiple systems of the body. It can also cause learning or attention problems. Caring for your child with NF requires close monitoring and, when needed, medical procedures. Our program includes many specialists who care for all aspects of your child's health and well-being. We'll support your whole family every step of the way.
