Abstract:
Bilateral acoustic neurofibrornatosis or neurofibrornatosis-2 is characterized by bilateral acoustic neurornas and it is thought to be genetically distinct from the neurohbrornatosis-1. Also called von Recklinghausen's neurofibrornatosis. We report 2 patients with neurofibrornatosis-2. Who showed progressive bilateral hearing loss, unsteady gait and headache.Neuroirnaging studies revealed bilateral cerebellopontine angle rnasses and biopsies confirmed the diagnosis.
