Neurofibromatosis Type 2 - 31/05/15
Résumé |
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.

The role of the neuro-otologist in this care is determined by the specialty center.
