Neurofibromatosis type 2 and multiple sclerosis

We present the case of a woman with a de novo mutation in the NF2 gene who later developed MS. In addition, we found a significantly higher count of T cells in a laryngeal schwannoma of this patient as compared to a schwannoma removed from a NF2 patient without MS. This finding correlated with a higher growth rate in the case of NF+MS.
