Neurofibromatosis Type 2
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When neurological symptoms appear along with hearing problems, the neurologist and, in children, the pediatric neurologist are the professionals who study their origin, with support from the dermatologist when there are signs on the skin. Neurofibromatosis type 2 is a genetic condition that favors the formation of benign tumors in nerves related to hearing and balance, as well as in other structures of the nervous system.
Common symptoms: It usually presents with decreased hearing, ringing in the ears, and balance problems that develop gradually.
How does it differ? Unlike type 1, skin lesions are less prominent, and the involvement of certain nerves predominates.
If you notice persistent changes in hearing or balance, evaluating them with a professional makes it possible to guide the appropriate tests and follow-up.
