Abstract:
A newborn with giant faciocervical mass and presented with asphyxia during birth was admitted to the hospital. After stabilizing her vital sign, we provided the patient with image examinations and whole-exome sequencing, which revealed a heterozygous variation of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). The final diagnosis of the patient was NF1 complicated with neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (NHIE). During hospitalization, the patient received comprehensive and systematic care. There was no reports of similar cases in the literature. So, this report aimed to elucidate the special clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of NF1 complicated with NHIE by analyzing the clinical data of the patient and her family and reviewing relevant literature.
