Purpose: To describe optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) findings in the retina and choroid of patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Methods: We describe a series of four patients diagnosed with NF1 and choroidal nodules who underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic evaluation including a retinal multimodal imaging study based on retinography, near-infrared reflectance imaging (NIR), enhanced depth imaging (EDI) optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCTA. Results: Patients were three women and one man aged 36–47 years. In all patients, the choroidal nodules were not visible in retinographies but easily detectable with NIR, appearing as multiple bright patches. On OCTA, we observed reduced vessel density in the choriocapillaris in zones where choroidal nodules appeared in OCT images. In one patient, a corkscrew vessel was visible in the superficial capillary plexus. Conclusion: Choriocapillaris vessel density was reduced in zones where choroidal nodules occur in NF1 patients. Further work is needed to clarify the clinical relevance of this finding.

Abstract OBJECTIVE This case series seeks to examine neurocognitive outcomes, social-emotional functioning, and family burden in young children diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis, type 1 (NF1) with early growing plexiform neurofibromas (PNFs). BACKGROUND Neurofibromatosis, type 1 (NF1) is a common predisposing chronic disease arising in early childhood, with an incidence of approximately 1:3000. Though NF1 displays a wide range of phenotypic variability, the primary feature of the disease is peripheral nerve sheath tumors called neurofibromas. Less is well known regarding the broader neurocognitive and social-emotional profile in presentations with more complex tumor growths, namely PNFs, which are present in at least half of the NF1-affected population. METHODS Participants with NF1 and PNFs (n=2) aged 6-7years completed comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations and parents completed measures of quality of life, social-emotional/behavioral functioning of child, parental stress, family adaptability, and family cohesion. RESULTS Outcomes suggest broad neurocognitive dysfunction (e.g., executive functioning deficits, attention problems, visual-motor delays, and poor motor coordination), social-emotional challenges (e.g., symptoms of anxiety and depression, and poor social skills), and familial distress. CONCLUSIONS Findings indicate the value of early and frequent monitoring of children with PNFs in medical systems and multi-disciplinary teams, and the importance of early intervention for both children and families.
