    Author: Slattery WH.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Clin North Am; 2015 Jun; 48(3):443-60. PubMed ID: 26043141.
    Abstract:
    Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is a rare syndrome characterized by bilateral vestibular schwannomas, multiple meningiomas, cranial nerve tumors, spinal tumors, and eye abnormalities. NF2 presents unique challenges to the otologist because hearing loss may be the presenting complaint leading to the diagnosis of the disorder. Care of patients with NF2 requires knowledge of all tumors and symptoms involved with the disorder. It is recommended that patients receive care in a center with expertise in NF2. The role of the neuro-otologist in this care is determined by the specialty center.
