ABSTRACT
Neurofibromatosis (NF) is considered a neurocutaneous/ phakomatosis disorder, which can involve the peripheral nervous system. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is one of the structures that can be affected by this disorder due to the formation of multiple neuromas. This clinical manifestation is more common with NF Type 1, but Type 2 was already described. Here, we would like to address dysautonomia, which is a term used to describe several different medical conditions that generally involve malfunction of the sympathetic or parasympathetic components of the ANS. In this way, October is considered dysautonomia awareness month, and we would like to discuss some facts about this dysfunction, and update the information shown by recent studies in this field.
