Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is an autosomal dominant condition with high spontaneous mutation rate which predisposes to the development of multiple nerve sheath tumours (schwannomas), meningiomas and ependymoma. The cardinal feature and main diagnostic criterion for the diagnosis of NF2 remains the development of bilateral vestibular schwannoma (BVS). With increasing use of MRI screening the...
