Popis:	A case of multiple neurogenic tumors is presented. A native MRI (head and cervical spine) identified multiple bilateral tumors in the intraorbital space and cervical tumors. Based on the clinical course, imaging features and diagnosis criteria a possible diagnosis of schwannomatosis was made. Further investigations are needed for a precise diagnosis. This case presents discrepancies between the clinical presentation (paucity of symptoms) and imaging findings. A careful follow-up and surgical treatment is needed, in order to prevent the mass effects of these tumors.
