Özet
Three pregnant women with neurofibromatosis were hospitalized due to hypertension and pain of labor were evaluated according to their obstetrical complications. The first case was diagnosed as preeclampsia and term pregnancy with contractions while the second as prior cesarean section and term pregnancy with contractions and the third as preterm labor and deep anemia. Immediate cesarean section was performed due to cephalopelvic disproportion in the first case and low height in the second case. Besides, the third case had normal vaginal delivery on the same day. No postpartum complications were developed in the first two cases whereas in the third case a decreas in hematocrit level and acute abdomen were seen on the third day of postpartum period. Retroperitoneal hematoma was observed in this patient who was immediately taken to surgery. Hypertension and hemiplegia were seen in the patient on the postoperative 11th day. Intrahemispheric hemorrhage was reported in cranial computerized tomography. There are several discussions on pregnancy and neurofibromatosis. It was reported, in the only large serial trial tliat neurofibromatosis does not increase the obstetrical complications; whereas there are also several case reports which demonstrate complications as hypertension, IUGR, stillbirth, spontaneous abortion, preterm labor are increased in pregnancies with neurofibromatosis. In one of the cases the pregnancy followed up without any complication. The existence of complications in the other two cases suggests that pregnancy of neurofibromatosis patients should be carefully followed up until the contradictions are entirely ended.
