For more information about Cleveland Clinic's Neurofibromatosis Program, please visit https://cle.clinic/3NQi7Kz This year’s Neurofibromatosis Symposium offers patients and family members an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the management of neurofibromatosis and schwannomatosis. Cognitive and behavioral challenges are common in neurofibromatosis and can affect learning, memory, attention, mood and daily life. Neuropsychologist Dr. Pamela Dean explains how neuropsychological evaluations help identify cognitive changes in patients with NF1 and NF2 and guide personalized support strategies across childhood and adulthood. Dr. Dean also discusses the impact of anxiety, sleep, pain, hearing, vision and executive functioning challenges — and why multidisciplinary care is important for improving quality of life over time.
