Combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 2

A Sivalingam et al. J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 1991 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

We describe a young patient with combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium who developed bilateral acoustic neuromas and meningiomas of the cervical-medullary junction and fifth cranial nerve. This case illustrates the association between combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium and neurofibromatosis type 2. The authors recommend that children with a combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium be screened for neurofibromatosis type 2.
