Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) is characterized primarily by the development of bilateral vestibular schwannomas (acoustic neuromas), which can lead to hearing loss, tinnitus, and balance issues. Other symptoms may include skin tumors known as dermatofibromas and meningiomas, which can cause headaches or neurological deficits. Patients may also experience cataracts at a younger age and other neurological complications. Regular monitoring and management are essential for addressing these symptoms effectively.
