[Von Recklinghausen's disease: functional pulmonary changes. 2 case reports].
We report two cases of patients with Von Recklinghausen disease. They exhibited typical cutaneous and diffuse intrapulmonary lesions accompanied by effort dyspnea. Multiple radiological abnormalities were noticed and the pictures showed nodular and interstitial lesions as well as emphysematous areas. Pulmonary function tests revealed more or less marked hypoxemia without hypercapnia, and decreased maximal expiratory flows due, at least in part, to a loss of elastic recoil.
