Abstract
The paper describes the case of a 6-year-old girl with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who was diagnosed with significant arterial hypertension during a routine check-up. After initial ineffective therapy and inconclusive investigations, an angio-CT revealed renal artery stenosis. Ballooning treatment improved blood pressure control. The case highlights the importance of monitoring blood pressure in NF1 patients and investigating suspected renovascular hypertension.
