Abstract

Neurofibromatosis type 2 is a rarely encountered autosomal dominantdisorder manifesting with typical radiological findings. These patients have apredilection for development of benign tumors in the central nervous system.Although the presenting symptom is most commonly hearing loss due toacoustic schwannomas, symptoms emanating from other cranial tumors are notuncommon. Herein, we described a 16-year-old male patient presented withmultiple meningiomas and cranial nerve schwannomas revealed by magneticresonance imaging. He fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of neurofibromatosistype 2 and underwent treatment. We emphasized the role of radiology in theearly diagnosis of this inherited disorder in order to provide a better prognosis.
