METHOD
Neuro-ophthalmology and general ophthalmology clinic records, unit
consultation registers and departmental records were reviewed for cases
of neurofibromatosis that presented to the eye clinic over a 10-year
period (between Jan 2010 and Dec 2019). Cases were also retrieved from
the Histopathology records and database of the Department of Pathology,
University College Hospital Ibadan for the same period. Relevant
demographic and clinical information such as; age at presentation, sex,
site of affectation, family history, clinical symptoms, treatment,
complications, patients’ outcomes and the specific histologic diagnoses
were extracted from the records and entered into a spreadsheet, designed
for the study. Analysis was performed with the calculation of simple
frequencies and proportions. The outcomes were displayed in tables and
charts, while relevant clinical images are displayed in figures.
