Neurofibromatosis Type 2
NF2 is the abbreviation for neurofibromatosis type 2, a rare disorder of genetic origin that promotes the appearance of benign tumors in the nervous system, particularly in the nerves related to hearing and balance.
Common symptoms: progressive hearing loss, ringing in the ears, balance problems, and, in some cases, changes in the skin or vision.
Common causes: it is due to an inherited disorder that predisposes to the growth of these tumors and can be passed down within the family.
Which specialist treats it? The manifestations on the skin may lead to a consultation with the dermatologist, although comprehensive follow-up involves specialists of the nervous system and of hearing. If there is progressive hearing loss with a family history, it is worth requesting a detailed evaluation.
