Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is also known as multiple inherited schwannomas, meningiomas, and ependymomas (MISME) syndrome. Mutation in NF2 gene is the cause for MISME syndrome. We are reporting here a case of MISME syndrome with triple tumor in a 30-year-old male patient who presented with the chief complaints of spastic paraparesis, bowel and bladder incontinence, and decreased vision in the right eye.
