MRI investigation for neurofibromatosis type 1 lesions during pregnancy - A case report
Background: Neurofibromatosis type I (NFl) is a genetic disorder of the nervous system that causes tumor growth on the nerves, skin changes and bone deformities, and it is reported to be associated with adverse perinatal outcome in pregnant women. Case: We report a case of MRI investigation of a pregnant woman with a known NFl disease who showed exacerbation of skin lesions during pregnancy. No dangerous lesions that could compromise pregnancy outcome were detected, thus allowing the pregnancy to continue to term uneventfully. Conclusion: MRI has strong indications for the follow-up of pregnant patients with neurofibromatosis as it can detect lesions that can serve as risk factors for pregnancy complications.
