Multiple meningiomas in Neurofibromatosis Type 2






Findings

MRI of the brain demonstrates multiple extraaxial enhancing mass lesions throughout the brain. The largest of these lesions is near the splenium of the corpus collusum in a posterior left sagittal location. Lesions are noted extending into the falx cerebri, tentorium and convexity dura. Smaller lesions are also identified in the left cerebellopontine angle, sphenoid wings bilaterally, within the sylvain fissures and adjacent to the transverse sinus. The lesions are slightly hyperintense to brain matter on proton density and T2 weighted images.

Differential diagnosis for extraaxial lesions in the brain
- Meningioma
- Schwannoma
- Metastases
- Epidermoids, Dermoids, Teratomas
- Lipomas
- Arachnoid cyst
- Choroid plexus papillomas
- Lymphoma


Diagnosis: Multiple meningiomas in Neurofibromatosis Type 2


Key points

Remember the imaging characteristics of an extraaxial mass:
1) grey-white matter buckling
2) expansion of the ipsilateral subarachnoid space
3) reactive bony changes

Nerve sheath/meningeal tumors (schwannomas, meningiomas, ependymonas) predominate in NF2 and glial type tumors (gliomas, neurofibromas) predominate in NF1.
Look for other tumors elsewhere (e.g., ependymomas) when confronted with NF2.

  1. We tried to get pregnant for a few years in a local clinic. There were no results. We've tried everything possible but nothing. We were recommended to use eggs. I know we have to go abroad. I was terrified. I didn't know where to go and where to begin my search. When my friend recommended Dr God hands  to me in western Africa  I thought she was joking. I knew nothing about that country but I well know they have powerful gifts on herbal medicines and I was afraid because of the language barrier. Anyway she convinced me to give a try. She told me that Dr God hands can also cure my prostate cancer which gives me more motivation to give a try to Dr God hands herbal center medicines. I've done the research and thought that maybe this really is a good idea. Dr God hands has reasonable prices which I ordered two four bottles and I drank it as instructed and everything went well. My prostate cancer is gone. Also it has high rates of successful treatments. Plus it uses natural herbs. Well I should say I was convinced. We contacted Dr God hands and now we can say it was the best decision in our lives. We were trying for so long to have a child and suddenly it all looked so simple.  Dr God's hands were so confident and hopeful he projected those feelings on me too. I am so happy to be a mother and eternally thankful to Dr God hands herbal Cure . Don’t be afraid and just do it!
