Abstract

Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF 2), formerly called bilateral Acoustic Neurofibromatosis, is a distinct disease, which must be separated clinically and radiologically from Neurofibromatosis type 1. We presented a case of NF 2 of 20-year-old female presented with a rare symptom, rightsided ptosis due to superior rectus muscle paresis, multiple subcutaneous nodules and hearing impairment.
