A case of neurofibromatosis type 2 with multiple ceutral neruous system tumors

22707

Neurofibromatosis type 2 is an inherited autosomal dominant syndrome. This sendrom is associated with ocular abnormalities and is characterized by multiple tumors of the central and peripheral nervous system. The most common tumor associated with the disease is the vestibulocochlear schwannoma. The aim of this report is to present a 35-year-old female patient who was seen for generalized seizures, diplopia, lack of vision and hearing loss in the right ear. Magnetic resonance imaging showed low grade glial tumor in the left temporal lobe, a pinealoma and bilateral optic nerve tumors. The diagnosis of Neurofibromatosis type 2 was made on the basis of clinical and imaging findings. Since early detection of the tumors and proper treatment decrease both morbidity and mortality of NF-2, it is important that a multisystemic approach to patients in whom concomitant spinal and/ or brain tumors exist is taken.
