• NF1 = 1st decade• NF2 = 2nd decade• Schwannomatosis = 3-4th decades
• No matrix calcification• MR signal NST

Question 6
• Which of the following is a TRUE statement?– A. Schwannomas grow centrally within an
involved nerve– B. Schwannomatosis patients demonstrate a
normal life expectancy– C. Schwannomas arise from pericytes in the nerve
sheath– D. Schwannomatosis is more common than NF1

Schwannomatosis Key Points
• Multiple nonintradermal schwannomas WITHOUT vestibular nerve involvement
• Separate disease entity from NF2– Different gene mutation
• SMARCB1 vs. NF2– Later onset
• 4th decade vs. 2nd decade– Normal life expectancy (unlike NF2)– Pain >> neurologic deficits (unlike NF2)
• Similar incidence to NF2 (~ 1/40,000)

Infrahyoid Neck Conclusion
• Several deep spaces & nodal stations– Wide variety of pathology
• Look for useful discriminators:– Age– History– Deep space of origin
