Cranial Manifestations of Neurofibromatosis Type 2: A Rare Case Demonstrating 15 Intracranial Lesions

Abstract

Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF-2) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multiple neoplasms which include meningiomas, schwannomas, and ependymomas. The most common tumors associated with NF-2 are bilateral vestibular schwannomas. We report the case of a 20-year-old female who presented with headaches and decreased vision. She had classical clinical presentation and imaging findings, which led to the diagnosis of NF-2.
