OBJECTIVE: To describe the genetic characteristics and the management of two very rare cases of unilateral multifocal inner ear and internal auditory canal or cerebellopontine angle cochleovestibular schwannomas not being associated to full neurofibromatosis type 2-related schwannomatosis.
PATIENTS: In a 29-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman with single-sided deafness multifocal unilateral cochleovestibular schwannomas were surgically resected, and hearing was rehabilitated with a cochlear implant (CI). Unaffected tissue was analyzed using next generation sequencing of the NF2 gene. Tumor tissue was analyzed using a 340-parallel sequencing gene panel.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Mutations in the NF2 gene, word recognition score for monosyllables at 65 dB SPL (WRS 65 ) with CI.
RESULTS: No disease-causing mutation was detected in the examined sequences in blood leucokytes. All tumor samples revealed, among others, somatic pathogenic NF2 mutations. While the anatomically separate tumors in case 1 were likely molecular identical, the tumors in case 2 showed different genetic patterns. WRS 65 was 55% at 6 years of follow-up and 60% at 4.5 years of follow-up, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: The occurrence of multifocal unilateral cochleovestibular schwannomas without pathogenic variants in NF2 in non-affected blood leucocytes can be associated with mosaic NF2 -related schwannomatosis (case 1), or with likely sporadic mutations (case 2) and may be overlooked due to their extreme rarity. Although challenging, successful hearing rehabilitation could be achieved through surgical resection of the tumors and cochlear implantation.
