Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2), now called NF2-related schwannomatosis, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by bilateral vestibular schwannomas (acoustic neuromas). Juvenile posterior subcapsular cataracts are often the first recognizable sign, appearing in 80-85% of patients and frequently presenting in childhood before other symptoms. Regular neuro-ophthalmologic monitoring is essential as optic nerve sheath meningiomas and other ocular findings can affect vision.
