Abstract
RODRIGUEZ DOMINGUEZ, Pedro Lorenzo and HERNANDEZ SUAREZ, Damarys. Neurofibromatosis type 1 and pregnancy: considerations on a clinical case. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2012, vol.34, n.3, pp. 381-388. ISSN 1684-1824.
We present the case of a pregnant woman, aged 27 years old, with neurofibromatosis type 1, diagnosed pre-conceptionally, who was attended at the Family Doctor´s consultation 80, of the Teaching Policlinic Milanes, of Matanzas. Pregnancy finished at the 39 week, in a spontaneous transpelvic birth, bearing a 2 850 grams new born, with good Apgar score, and with a satisfactory evolution of the binomial mother-child. We reviewed the universal literature on the disease, highlighting the potential risks for mother and child, with the objective of allowing the health professionals working at the primary health care level to recognize the importance of this entity for the Infant-Maternal Care Program, even when it is not very frequent.
