Trigeminal Neuralgia in NF2-Related Schwannomatosis

OBJECTIVES: NF2-related schwannomatosis (NF2) is an autosomal dominant syndrome resulting in a predisposition for benign tumors of the nervous system, including schwannomas, meningiomas, and ependymomas. There is a lack of data on the prevalence of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) in NF2 and the relationship between trigeminal schwannomas (TS) and TN in NF2 is also unclear....

✦ Clinical Takeaway ✦

No actionable change for routine audiology practice; audiologists managing NF2 patients should be aware of trigeminal neuralgia as a possible comorbidity and refer appropriately to neurology or neurosurgery.

✦ Why It Matters ✦

NF2-related schwannomatosis frequently presents to audiologists due to vestibular schwannomas (acoustic neuromas), and recognizing associated neurological complications like trigeminal neuralgia supports comprehensive multidisciplinary care.

✦ Key Points ✦

01Trigeminal neuralgia (severe facial nerve pain) can occur in patients with NF2-related schwannomatosis.
