Conditions

Neurodegenerative diseases are a varied assortment of central nervous system disorders characterized by the gradual and progressive loss of neural tissue or nerve cells.

Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a group of genetic conditions that can affect multiple organ systems, including the brain, nerves, skin, bones, and other parts of the body. It is a progressive disease that can lead to the development of tumors in various parts of the body. Although NF is not a form of cancer, it can cause malignancies.

Neurological disorders are common and can range from severe life-threatening conditions like stroke, hydrocephalus and meningitis to less harmful but almost always debilitating conditions, such as migraine, epilepsy and sleep disorders.
