NF2 is the abbreviation for neurofibromatosis type 2, a rare disorder of genetic origin that promotes the appearance of benign tumors in the nervous system, particularly in the nerves related to hearing and balance.
Common symptoms: progressive hearing loss, ringing in the ears, balance problems, and, in some cases, changes in the skin or vision.
Common causes: it is due to an inherited disorder that predisposes to the growth of these tumors and can be passed down within the family.
