Neurofibromatosis type 2 (bilateral acoustic schwannomas) demonstrated by Tc-99m (V) DMSA SPECT

Clin Nucl Med. 1997 Dec;22(12):847-9. doi: 10.1097/00003072-199712000-00009.

Abstract

Tc-99m (V) DMSA clearly demonstrated several cranial meningiomas, bilateral acoustic neurinomas and multiple subcutaneous neurofibromas in a patient of neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF-2). The present paper describes accumulation of Tc-99m (V) DMSA in cranial schwannomas and meningiomas as well as multiple peripheral neurofibromas.
