Neurofibromatosis type 2 and central neurofibromatosis [PDF]
Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is a rare disease, affecting only approximately 1000 patients in the entire United States. The diagnosis requires the presence of bilateral acoustic neuromas, but many other tumors of the nervous system are also present. It is a very different disease from von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis, NF1.

Focal amyotrophy in neurofibromatosis 2 [PDF]
Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterised by bilateral vestibular schwannomas and other CNS tumours including meningiomas and spinal schwannomas. Occasionally, peripheral neuropathy occurs in these patients but this is the first report of focal amyotrophy.

Neurofibromatosis, one of the most common genetic disorders, is a group of three conditions—Neurofibromatosis 1, Neurofibromatosis 2 and Schwannomatosis—that share some clinical features, such as the presence of cranial and spinal nerve sheet tumors ...

SUMMARYNeurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is often not recognised as a distinct entity from peripheral neurofibromatosis. NF2 is a predominantly intracranial condition whose hallmark is bilateral vestibular schwannomas. NF2 results from a mutation in the gene named merlin, located on chromosome 22.

Neurofibromatosis (NF) 1 and 2 are multisystem disorders associated with a variety of neoplastic and non‐neoplastic manifestations that typically progress in severity during the lifetime of the affected patient. The importance of appropriately diagnosing these disorders stems from the fact that the natural history of an associated neoplasm, such as a ...

Neurofibromatosis 2 [Bilateral acoustic neurofibromatosis, central neurofibromatosis, NF2, neurofibromatosis type II] [PDF]
Neurofibromatosis 2 is a dominantly inherited tumor predisposition syndrome caused by mutations in the NF2 gene on chromosome 22. Affected individuals inevitably develop schwannomas typically affecting both vestibular nerves leading to deafness. Rehabilitation with brainstem implants is improving this outcome.

Multiple odontogenic cysts in a patient with Neurofibromatosis–Noonan syndrome [PDF]
Neurofibromatosis–Noonan syndrome (NFNS) is an uncommon chromosomal disorder showing features of both neurofibromatosis (NF-1) and Noonan syndrome (NS). We encountered a case of NFNS with keratocystic odontogenic tumor and dentigerous cysts.

Ophthalmic Manifestation in Neurofibromatosis Type 2
Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is a genetically determined tumor-predisposing syndrome. Ocular manifestations include cataracts, epiretinal membranes, retinal hamartomas, optic disk gliomas, and optic nerve sheath meningiomas. Moreover, optic disk edema,
