São apresentados dois doentes com tumores múltiplos do sistema nervoso e estigmas cutâneos de neurofibromatose. Em ambos havia história familiar da doença e a coexistência de neurinoma do acústico bilateral. O primeiro doente, com história de surdez bilateral progressiva com dez años de evolução, hemiparesia esquerda e confusão mental recentes, apresentava meningeoma e quisto aracnoideu da convexidade fronto-parietal direita e menigeoma da convexidade cerebelosa esquerda. A segunda doente, con um quadro de hipertensão intracraniana há dez meses e hipocusia esquerda, tinha à data do diagnóstico apenas um neurinoma do acústico esquerdo. Posteriormente surgiram outros tumores com o diagnóstico provável de neurinoma do acústico direito, meningeoma do seio cavernoso direito, ependimoma, neurinoma da cauda equina e ainda siringobulbia e siringomielia, clinicamente silenciosos.

The first patient had a history of progressive bilateral deafness for ten years and recent left hemiparesis and confusional state. He presented with a meningioma and arachnoid cyst of the frontoparietal right convexity and another meningioma of cerebellar convexity. The other patient had intracraneal hypertension for ten months, left deafness and just a left acoustic neurinoma at the time of diagnosis. Other probable tumors, syringobulbia and syringomielia were diagnosed later on.
