摘要
In addition to having physical complications, children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) show a wide spectrum of neuropsychological deficits, mainly executive dysfunctions. Approximately 30 % to 50 % of NF1-patients are also diagnosed with a comorbid attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Since executive dysfunctions are a core component in ADHD, this study was conceived to show whether executive dysfunctions are genuinely a problem in NF1 - or just one of an ADHD subgroup. Additionally, we investigated whether executive dysfunctions in NF1 differ from those observed in pure ADHD. According to our findings, NF1-patients without ADHD do not show any executive dysfunctions; however, NF1-patients with ADHD exhibit serious impairments. These results show that executive dysfunctions are not a core deficit of NF1 but rather one of ADHD.
