Neurocutaneous syndromes are rare neurologic disorders that affect the central nervous system due to tumors (cancer or non-cancer) that develop in the brain, spinal cord, organs, bones and skin. Although children are born with these syndromes, they may not be diagnosed until tumors can be seen on the skin or they cause problems with a child’s function. The oncologists (cancer doctors) in our 51�Թ� Children's��Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders work closely with 51�Թ� experts in neurology and orthopedics to find the cause of your child’s symptoms. Since tumors grow and change as your child develops, our experts monitor and address each issue. Although there’s no cure, our specially trained care teams are here to help your child and family as you learn to manage this lifelong condition.
