About 7 out of every 100 acoustic neuromas are caused by neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). NF2 is a very rare genetic disorder that causes benign tumours of the nervous system. It affects about 1 in 350,000 people.
People with a hereditary disease called neurofibromatosis have a higher risk of developing acoustic neuromas, and can develop tumors in both ears. About 10% of all acoustic neuromas occur in people with neurofibromatosis.
neurofibromatosis, von Hippel-Lindau disease, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, and retinoblastoma) also have an increased risk to develop tumors of the central nervous system.
