| Popis: | Neurofibromatosis type II (NF2) is a rare autosomal dominant inherited disease caused by a mutation in chromosome 22q12 and associated with multiple central nervous system tumors. In this paper, we describe a rare case of cervicomedullary junction ependymoma associated with NF2 in a 25-year-old man who underwent surgical treatment with total resection and had a good clinical outcome. We discussed the nuances of the surgical resection and the literature concerning this rare form of presentation of NF2. |
