Abstract
Neurofibromatosis NF is an autosomal dominant neurocutaneous condition characterized by a set of clinical symptoms that affect multiple systems in the human body. Due to its multisystem involvement an interdisciplinary plan of care is crucial for effective rehabilitation. This study highlights a 23-year-old man diagnosed with NF-1 at the cervical level of C2-C4 causing widening of the neural foramen for which he underwent laminectomy and decompression surgery from C2 to C5 levels. After the surgery he experienced limitations in his daily activities and mobility. After the evaluation on the basis of the International classification of functioning model the patient and parents were educated about the condition and progress. The interdisciplinary team set a plan of care and told the patient about the realistic goals that they could achieve. At discharge the patient had met the goals and there was a significant improvement in his daily functional activities and quality of life.
