Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol. 1991 Oct;100(10):830-4. doi: 10.1177/000348949110001008.

Abstract

A case report of bilateral acoustic neurofibromatosis (NF-2) is presented with temporal bone histopathology. The distinct clinical and genetic features of NF-2 are reviewed in the context of recent data that show it to be a disorder distinct from classic von Recklinghausen's disease (NF-1).
