Abstract
The authors detected a case of neurofibromatosis type 1 complicated with preeclampsia and the syndrome of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets, which developed during pregnancy. When the cause of the patient's hypertension was investigated after birth, renal stenosis of the right artery was detected, which was then successfully treated with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.
