[|Human|] Hi,My 4 year old has been seen by his paediatrician and is being sent for genetic screening as he has multiple birthmarks,my query is that the ones to be concerned about are called cafe au lait spots and his look more like freckles.Is he being thorough checking for neurofibramatosis,he had some speech delay and is awaiting an assessment to help with his fine motor skills. Regards, Anxious mum
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I understand your concern completely, and must appreciate that you are doing good work with evaluating him completely for the problem. Yes neurofibromatosis is possible here, and it can cause developmental delay. However, it's just a possibility and nothing is confirmed till complete evaluation Is done. So keep doing what's suppose to be done and hope for the best. Hope your child gets well soon. Take care.
