Abstract
We present the case of a 24 week pregnant woman with neurofibromatosis (NF)-1 treated at our medical center with a result of fetal death in the 27th week of pregnancy. We review the literature on the reciprocal repercussions of NF and pregnancy and the potential health risks both for the mother and for the fetus. We also discuss preconceptional counseling, since this disease is genetically inherited, as well as its monitoring during pregnancy.
