Bilateral vestibular schwannomas (VS) are pathognomonic of neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), but the diagnostic criteria also include unilateral VS (UVS) in combination with multiple meningiomas (MM) and other schwannomas, as well as MM without VS. ⋯ Patients presenting with UVS and MM are significantly more likely to have a nonrefuted diagnosis of NF2 than patients presenting with UVS and ≥2 NIDS, but significantly less likely to develop bilateral VS.
