Missed tuberous sclerosis complex with multi-system complications in a single patient
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by widespread clinical manifestations. Early diagnosis is usually possible when typical TSC related skin lesions and neurologic presentations are detected in young patients. Undiagnosed TSC patients are at increased ris...
