[Von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis and pregnancy and the puerperium]

On the basis of a personal case and a review of the literature, the authors describe the particular features of the association of neurofibromatosis and pregnancy. With the exception of a few severe forms of the disease, pregnancy is possible in the majority of patients with neurofibromatosis, although there is a risk of hypertension of pregnancy. The rate of abortion is a little higher than in the general population.
