Note

  • do not confuse with NEUROFIBROMATOSIS 1; coord IM with precoord/neopl term (IM) if relevant

Scope note

  • An autosomal dominant disorder characterized by a high incidence of bilateral acoustic neuromas as well as schwannomas (NEURILEMMOMA) of other cranial and peripheral nerves, and other benign intracranial tumors including meningiomas, ependymomas, spinal neurofibromas, and gliomas. The disease has been linked to mutations of the NF2 gene (GENES, NEUROFIBROMATOSIS 2) on chromosome 22 (22q12) and usually presents clinically in the first or second decade of life.

History note

  • 1992; NEUROFIBROMATOSIS, CENTRAL, NF2 use NEUROFIBROMATOSIS, CENTRAL, NF-2 use NEUROMA, ACOUSTIC 1989-1991; NEUROMA, ACOUSTIC, BILATERAL use NEUROMA, ACOUSTIC 1989-91
