Neurofibromatosis Type II (or MISME Syndrome for Multiple Inherited Schwannomas Meningiomas and Ependymomas) is an inherited disease. The main manifestation of the disease is the development of symmetric non-malignant brain tumors in the region of the cranial nerve VIII which is the auditory-vestibular nerve that transmits sensory information from the inner ear to the brain. Most people with this condition also experience visual problems.
