Central Bilateral Acoustic Neurofibromatosis treatment in San Luis Potosí

Bilateral acoustic neurofibromatosis, also known as neurofibromatosis type 2, is a genetic disorder that promotes the appearance of benign tumors on the nerves, characteristically on the auditory nerves of both ears.

Usual manifestations: It may present with decreased hearing, ringing in the ears, balance problems, or dizziness, which tend to progress gradually.

When to seek care? Progressive hearing loss in both ears, especially in young people, warrants a detailed evaluation.

Specialists involved: Its study brings together the neurologist, the otolaryngologist and, when there are tumors that require treatment, the oncologist and the radiation oncologist. If you notice persistent changes in your hearing or balance, it is worth consulting about it to guide appropriate follow-up.
