There is a lack of data on the prevalence of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) in NF2 and the relationship between trigeminal schwannomas (TS) and TN in NF2 is also unclear. We sought to investigate the factors predisposing NF2 patients to TN.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>We performed a retrospective review of case notes and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in our cohort of adult NF2 patients over the age of 16 years meeting the international diagnostic criteria for NF2. We assessed presence and size of TS, size of vestibular schwannoma, clinical findings of neuropathy\/pain, history of headache disorder, and intervention. We then looked at the subset of patients with TS and our radiologist reviewed their MRI brain imaging<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Fifteen of 189 NF2 patients had TN.
