Abstract
NF2-Schwannomatosis (NF2-SWN) is a disease characterized by multiple tumors of the central and peripheral nervous system. Surgery remains an important treatment option, sometimes performed on an urgent basis, but usually planned within the context of complex multi-tumour burden and morbidity. It is difficult to provide a comprehensive generic decision tree because each patient has a unique disease burden, but we will detail in this review the therapeutic indications for each tumor type, vestibular schwannomas, meningiomas, spinal schwannomas and meningiomas, spinal ependymomas and peripheral schwannomas. The experience of the multidisciplinary team impact outcomes in this rare disease and centralized care has been shown to improve the disease course.
