MODIFIABLE FACTORS: NON-MODIFIABLE FACTORS:

Genetic condition: Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) Stress

Acquired cell mutations of Schwann cells leads to uncontrolled cell Destruction of Schwann cell leads to disruption of myelin
division in the cerebellopontine right-angle region of the brain sheaths

Inadequate production of myelin sheaths

Formation of Schwannoma tumor

Insufficient sending of electrical impulses between the

nerve cells to travel back and forth rapidly
Proliferation of schwannoma tumor leads to mass that results in
increase pressure in the surrounding area of the brain

Delayed sending of electrical signal and impulses in

Severe headache the body that impedes body coordination

Impedes blood flow in the cerebellopontine right angle and occipital SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
lobe of the brain  Dysmetria

 Loss of balance
 Poor body coordinarion

Injury to localized brain regions. Symptoms vary depending on
