Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) is a genetic disorder characterized by the development of non-cancerous (benign) tumors in the nervous system. These tumors most commonly arise in the brain and spinal cord, particularly affecting the auditory nerves, which can lead to hearing loss. Although these tumors are typically benign, they can cause significant health issues due to their location and potential to disrupt critical nervous system functions.
