The rare genetic disorder results in the formation of tumors anywhere in the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord and nerves. There is no cure for the disease, generally, the sooner someone is under the care of a doctor trained in treating neurofibromatosis, the better the outcome.

The young Swedish national consulted several renowned doctors worldwide, but all her efforts were futile leaving her with no hope to get proper treatment for her condition. The disease not only affected her physically but shook her confidence as well. A highly social person, she now shied away from meeting people. Finally, she landed in India and found the much-needed confidence in Dr. Manish Nanda, a Cosmetic Surgeon at the Asian Institute of Medical Sciences, Faridabad. From there on, things moved on smoothly for the Swedish woman.
