Co-existence of neurofibromatosis type 2 and multiple sclerosis: A case report
Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF-2) is an autosomal-dominant neurogenetic disorder which is characterized by the development of multiple tumors such as schwannomas, meningiomas and ependymomas. The responsible gene for NF-2 is located on chromosome 22q12. We present a 42-year-old male who developed multiple sclerosis 5 years after diagnosis of NF2 and radiosurgery for bilateral schwannomas.
