Abstract

Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterised by multiple neoplasms of the central and peripheral nervous system associated with ocular abnormalities. Leptomeningeal angiomatosis has not been described with this tumour predisposition syndrome. This report documents an unusual association of leptomeningeal angiomatosis in a case of NF2.
