Summary Ten patients with neurofibromatosis were studied in 27 pregnancies. Two of the patients had evidence of pre‐eclampsia in their first pregnancy but not in subsequent ones. In all other pregnancies, no adverse features were noted. It would seem that neurofibromatosis is not specifically associated with any obstetric complications. The need for further reporting of cases is stressed.
