Abstract

During 25 years in the clinic 37 patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), including 17 men and 20 women were observed. Average age of patients was 23 years. 80 % of patients had been diagnosed bilaterial acoustic neurinoma, for 15 % - unilateral one, at 5 % - multiple tumors of brain and spinal cord. Neurinomas of craniocerebral nerves, except acoustical, were revealed in 8 % of patients, and a neurinomas of spinal nerves - in 11 %. In 33 % of NF2 patients neurinomas were combined with meningiomas, and in 8 — meningiomas were multiple. The surgery material was researched morphologically. On histological structure there were mainly neurinomas (36) and meningiomas (16). Among last — mainly fibroblastic (10) and mixed — fibrobplastic and angiomatose components (4). Neurofibromas occurred only in 4 cases. Some structural features of neurinoma’s structure at NF2 in young patients were revealed: increased fibril formation, attributes of sclerosis and a hyalinosis of vessel wall that predetermines technical difficulties in removing of such tumors and high risk of intraoperative bleeding. In the investigated cases proliferative potential of neurinomas in NF2 patients is low, that is evidence of an opportunity of dynamic observation of young patients with neuro­fibromatosis. Some morphological and proliferative correlations between hypodermic tumors with intracranial and spinal tumors were found.
