A neurofibromatosis type 2 case with vestibular, trigeminal and facial schwannomas: Magnetic resonance imaging findings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neurofibromatosis type 2 is characterized by the development of multiple nervous system tumors. This disorder is also called multiple inherited schwannomas, meningiomas, and ependymomas syndrome. In this report, we discuss the magnetic resonance imaging findings in a patient with Neurofibromatosis type 2 who had right and left vestibular and trigeminal schwannomas, unilateral facial schwannoma, multiple meningiomas, and cervical intramedullary spinal cord tumors.

متن کاملA rare retroperitoneal schwannoma in a patient with neurofibromatosis Type 2
Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) is a dominantly inherited tumour-prone disorder, characterized by the development of multiple schwannomas, meningiomas and ependymomas. Its prevalence is around 1:60 000. Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is the hallmark of NF2. Retroperitoneal schwannomas are expected to occur in only 3% of cases. We present the case of a large retroperitoneal schwannoma in a patient wi...
