This work describes the case of a 20-
year-old woman with neurofibromatosis
type II (NF-2). The patient was diagnosed
when she was just 15. The symptoms and
the course of rare genetically autosomal
dominant disease which is conditioned by
the mutations of NF2 gene encoding
merlin protein and located on
chromosome 22q12.2 ,were elaborated.
Scales such as: Katz (ADL), Lawton
(IADL), Barthel , Tinetti, "get-up and
go", tests were used in functional
evaluation and patient's physical
function which is very important in the diagnosis and the course of improving
functionality.
The purpose of this work is to
present how rehabilitation and physical
activity influence psychophysical health
and help in everyday life activities of
the patient who is deaf in both ears after
tumor surgery in right and left
Cerebellopontine angle area and after
the surgery of two meningiomas of left
sylvian fissure, Vitelliform macular
d y s t r o p h y ( B e s t ' s d i s e a s e ) , t h e
peripheral paresis of the right facial
nerve and existing multilevel intradural
tumors in spinal canal, intraspinal and
e x t r a s p i n a l t u m o r s w i t h t h e
morphologic features of meningiomas,
neurilemmomas, ependymo mas,
t u m o r s w i t h t h e f e a t u r e s o f
meningiomas above left Cerebral
hemisphere and along Cerebral falx.
Moreover, the patient was diagnosed
with tumors with the morphologic
features of meningiomas in the right
internal juguval vein hole, left accessory
p a r o t i d g l a n d a n d a f e w s m a l l
meningiomas below the left internal
juguval vein hole and also in left
parapharyngeal space after the insertion
of cochlear implant on the right side and
after hypothyroidism, it was given to the
patient who reads lips, communicates
mostly by text messages and slowly
tries to incorporate sign language.
Examples of rehabilitation exercises
were presented, as well as how the
patient uses physical activity despite
bilateral deafness, numerous tumors and
surgeries.
