Abstract
MPNST of cranial nerves are very rare. In neurofibroma, even though MPNST is mainly associated to type 1, we should keep in mind its association to NF2. Mainstay of treatment is radical resection with adjuvant radiotherapy. Inaccessibility of cranial MPNST may explain the subtotal resection and thus the poor prognosis. Metastasis to the spinal cord is the most frequent one. A close postoperative follow-up is mandatory to eliminate recurrence.
