Phakomatoses are a group of neurocutaneous disorders characterised by involvement of structures that arise from the embryonic ectoderm (thus central nervous system, skin and eyes). Other organs may also be involved

Phakomatoses

Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is a rare autosomal dominant neurocutaneous disorder (phakomatosis) manifesting as development of multiple CNS tumours 1-2. Unlike neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), it is not associated with neurofibromas.  Instead, patients with this disease have:

  • intracranial schwannoma(s) - mostly vestibular schwannoma(s)

  • intracranial and spinal meningioma(s)

  • intraspinal-intramedullary ependymoma(s).

These features suggest the mnemonic MISME which describes Multiple Inherited Schwannomas Meningiomas and Ependymomas 4. In fact, labeling this disorder neurofibromatosis type 2 is a misnomer, because neurofibromas are not a part of its constellation of abnormalities.5

There can also be associated syringohydromyelia with lesions in the spine 1 as well as cataracts 3.



Epidemiology

The disease is rare with an estimated prevalence of 1:50000.

The neoplasms usually develop in adult patients - but the predisposition is inherited via a mutational loss of a tumor supressor gene on the long arm of chromosome 22.  This gene codes for a protein pNF2 or "schwannomin" - also called "merlin".

Although meningiomas are often an isolated findings in adults, their presence in a child should raise suspicion regarding NF2. The presence of mulitple and diffrent types spinal tumours also raise high suspicion of NF2 1
