Neurofibromatosis type 2 with multiple primary brain tumors in monozygotic twins.

Surgical neurology - 1 May 1999

Harada H, Kumon Y, Hatta N, Sakaki S, Ohta S

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Although monozygotic twins with neurofibromatosis complicated by brain tumors rarely have been reported, none of them fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). METHOD: We describe here the first pair of monozygotic twins with NF2, and the result of the molecular analysis of their NF2 gene. RESULTS: One of the brothers (Case 1) developed tetraparesis and cerebellar truncal...
