Abstract
A clinical study on successful treatment of multifocal brain and spinal cord lesions in neurofibromatosis type 2 in a woman aged 35 years is presented. Magnetic resonance imaging showed bilateral vestibular schwannomas, brain meningiomatosis and multiple spinal intramedullary tumours. The treatment comprised four stages: removal of giant dextral vestibular schwannomas, removal of convexital cerebral meningiomatosis, whole-brain radiation therapy and follow-up. The spinal cord mass was asymptomatic during the entire follow-up. These steps enabled achievement of a long relapse-free period and resulted in good functional outcomes.
