Eye care in the 1800s: Neurofibromatosis
This photograph first appeared in 1871 in the first medical photographic journal. It shows a patient with von Recklinghausen’s disease, a disfiguring hereditary disease now known as neurofibromatosis. There is still no cure for the disease. Patients often have the “fibromas” surgically removed - unless they are too big or too numerous to remove.
