Abstract

NF2 patients with intracranial tumors were 10.9 years old on average, as compared to 19.4 years in NF2 patients with spinal ependymoma (SP-EPN) and 41 years in patients with SP-EPN without reported NF2 [[3]]. Together, our data indicate that the spectrum of CNS tumors in NF2 patients includes ependymomas of different types and localizations. [Extracted from the article]
