Neurofibromatosis type 2 is a pathology characterized by presenting benign cerebral tumors centrally located. Due to slow growing, they may be inert for many years before symptoms begin.

Imaging studies were performed where the TAC reported left frontal tumor, and mixed lesion in right posterior fossa, supratentorial hydrocephalus edema reported transependimario and MRI image compatible with meningioma of the left anterior cranial fossa with significant mass effect and right acoustic neuroma with significant mass effect on the brain stem and fourth ventricle. It was decided to perform resection of both tumors in two surgical sessions; finally the pathology is confirmed compatible with meningioma and acoustic neuroma.
