Abstract
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), also known as von Recklinghausen’s disease, is a genetic neurological disorder characterized by cutaneous and plexiform neurofibromas, café-au-lait spots, Lisch nodules, freckling in axillary and inguinal regions, optic gliomas, bone abnormalities and an increased risk of malignancy. It is also reported to be associated with adverse perinatal outcome in pregnant women. This article presents a case of a pregnant woman with a known NF1 disease since childhood, with a Fourth Ventricle benign tumor surgery, a permanent ventriculoperitoneal shunt and a Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB). However, this is a case with a normal obstetric outcome, without the aggravation of dermatological lesions of the condition during pregnancy.
