Neurofibromatosis (NF) 2, associated with bilateral acoustic neurinomas has heen shown to be an entity distinct from NF 1, since their chromosomal abnormali-ties are completely different. NF 2 has a very low occurrence rate, but would be a terrible disease by its high prevalence in offsprings. In addition, compared to the majority of unilateral, nonfamiliar neurinoma, acous-tic neurinomas of NF 2 have been shown to be refrac-tory to treatments. Therefore, it is crucial to know the clinical characteristics of patients with NF 2. In this study, we analyzed 14 cases of NF 2 and 7 cases of NF 1 in whom brain tumors are main symptoms. Brain tumors associated with NF 1 were five neurinomas, two gliomas and a meningioma. The mean age of NF 1 pa-tients accompanied with brain tumors was 37.6 years old, younger than the overall age of NF 1 patients. In patients with NF 2 there was often association with cranial, and spinal neurinomas and meningiomas. NF 2 especially, in younger patients was accompanied with multiple spinal neurinomas. Twenty acoustic neurino-mas in 14 NF 2 patients were treated by surgery. Op-erative results showed that total resection was achieved in only 5 cases, 13 were subtotally and 2 were partially resected. Hearing preservation was attained in only three cases. In addition, all but two patients were com-plicated with postoperative facial palsy. From this analysis, it is clear that NF 2-associated acoustic neuri-nomas are not responsive to surgical intervention. We also reviewed genetical problems briefly.
