ABSTRACT
Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is an autosomal dominant syndrome caused by a mutation in the NF2 suppressor gene and is characterized by the development of multiple benign tumors throughout the central nervous system. Bilateral vestibular schwannomas (VSs) are pathognomonic for NF2 and are associated with progressive hearing loss and eventual deafness in most patients. This review presents current management options for NF-2-associated VSs.
