Bilateral trigeminal nerve sheath tumors treated with stereotactic radiosurgery: A case report
Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2021 Bilateral trigeminal nerve sheath tumors are extremely rare with a paucity of previously disseminated cases. In addition, bilateral nerve sheath tumors are often secondary to genetic conditions such as Neurofibromatosis (NF) 2 and schwannomatosis.

Immortalized Human Schwann Cell Lines Derived From Tumors of Schwannomatosis Patients.
PLoS ONE, 2015 Schwannomatosis, a rare form of neurofibromatosis, is characterized predominantly by multiple, often painful, schwannomas throughout the peripheral nervous system. The current standard of care for schwannomatosis is surgical resection.

SMARCB1/INI1 germline mutations contribute to 10% of sporadic schwannomatosis
BMC Neurology, 2011 Background Schwannomatosis is a disease characterized by multiple non-vestibular schwannomas. Although biallelic NF2 mutations are found in schwannomas, no germ line event is detected in schwannomatosis patients.
