Advanced diagnosis and treatment
At Mayo Clinic, people with NF2-related schwannomatosis (NF2) benefit from the most advanced tools for diagnosis and treatment. Mayo specialists use the latest genetic, imaging, hearing and vision tests to find tumors early and guide your care.
Mayo Clinic experts use high-resolution brain MRI and spine MRI to locate tumors such as vestibular schwannomas, meningiomas and ependymomas. They also perform detailed hearing and balance testing to help detect changes that may suggest nerve involvement.
Treatment for NF2-related schwannomatosis may include:
- Surgery to remove or reduce tumors while protecting nerve function.
- Stereotactic radiosurgery small tumors or those in hard-to-reach areas.
- Cochlear implants or auditory brainstem implants to improve hearing when tumors affect the hearing nerves.
