ABSTRACT

Tuberous sclerosis complex (tsc) is a neurocutaneous syndrome, characterized by seizures and angiofibromas in childhood. It is an autosomal dominant disease, however only 30% of cases are family related. Management must be multidisciplinary and the treatment could be with antiepileptics, immunosuppressants, CO2 and erbium laser. We report a case of a 9–year-old boy who presented seizures, angiofibromas, hypomelanotic macules and shagreen patches (peau de chagrin) in his first year of life. Diagnosis was confirmed by clinical criteria and family history, with multiple complications on skin, brain, retina, and kidney.
