Neurofibromatosis 2 is a rare autosomal dominant neurocutaneous disorder classically characterized by bilateral acoustic schwannomas. Multiple other central, as well as peripheral central nervous system neoplasms as meningiomas and ependymomas, are also associated. We present here a case of 18-year-old female with bilateral hearing loss. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and spine showed multiple intracranial and intra-spinal neoplasms. Bilateral large acoustic and other cranial nerve schwannomas, along with multiple spinal neurofibromas were present. Based on these MRI findings a diagnosis of neurofibromatosis was made.
