title: [Von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis and pregnancy. Apropos of a case].
abstract: Having seen a personal case and having reviewed the literature, we clarify the details when neurofibromatosis and pregnancy occur together. Few cases of this combination of conditions have been reported. The complications can be serious and have led some authors to suggest that the pregnancy should be terminated in every case and that the patient should be sterilised. Sometimes the only risk is hypertension of pregnancy, which is what occurred in our case. Its progress was benign and according to the literature this seems to be the most usual outcome. All the same, because it is possible that complications can occur in any case of neurofibromatosis in pregnancy, pregnant women with neurofibromatosis should be placed in a high-risk group which has to be watched very carefully.
