A member asked:
Are patients with neurofibromatosis considered to have high risk pregnancies?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes:: Pregnant neurofibromatosis patients constitute a high-risk group, in danger of developing life-threatening complications. However, with proper antenatal care, most pregnant neurofibromatosis patients can deliver safety if the pregnancy continues beyond the first trimester.
