  • Title: Childhood hypertensive stroke with neurofibromatosis.
    Author: Pellock JM, Kleinman PK, McDonald BM, Wixson D.
    Journal: Neurology; 1980 Jun; 30(6):656-9. PubMed ID: 6770288.
    Abstract:
    A child with neurofibromatosis had hypertension and acute hemiplegia resulting from both renal and cerebral vascular occlusive disease. This case illustrates the importance of recognizing surgical antihypertensive therapy was attempted, and may have contributed to rapid neurologic deterioration. Children with neurofibromatosis and hypertension require a careful neurologic evaluation, including computed tomography, before therapy.
