Tuberous sclerosis (TS) or tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a genetic disorder that is characterised by hamartomas in many organs, but particularly the skin, brain, eye, kidney and heart. Hamartomas are non-cancerous malformations composed of overgrowth of the cells and tissues that normally occur in the affected area and include naevi (birthmarks). Skin lesions, epileptic seizures and developmental delay/behavioural problems are the main features of TSC. However, individuals with the condition may be affected in many different ways and with differing degrees of severity. Some patients may have very few or no symptoms at all, whilst others may be severely affected with a multitude of symptoms. What causes TS and who gets it? Tuberous sclerosis is a genetic disorder. About one third of all cases of TS are inherited from an affected parent. All other cases are due to sporadic new mutations of the tuberin protein gene occurring in the early stages of life. People of all races and sex may be affected. The condition may become apparent any time from infancy to adulthood but usually occurs between 2-6 years of age.

Other characters Tuberous sclerosis, a phakomatosis which is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion and affects multiple organ systems. Classically it is characterized by a clinical triad of epilepsy, mental retardation and skin lesions (adenoma sebaceum). The diagnostic criteria for the tuberous sclerosis complex include a number of primary, secondary and tertiary features. In a large proportion of patients, infantile spasms or myoclonic seizures in early childhood are the presenting features. Approximately 10% of children with infantile spasms will have tuberous sclerosis. Radiology, and in particular neuroimaging, plays an important role in the diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis, with characteristic abnormalities appearing on neuroimaging in more than 95% of patients. Intracranial manifestations The intracranial manifestations can be divided into a number of major areas: subependymal hamartomas, giant cell tumours, cerebral hamartomas, white matter lesions, parenchymal cysts, cerebellar lesions and avascular lesions. Subependymal hamartomas The subependymal hamartomas appear as nodules of tissue along the walls of the ventricular system, most commonly the lateral ventricles. The imaging appearances change with the age of the child. In the first year or two of life they are rarely calcified and thus difficult to detect on CT, but later they are clearly visualized (

Other characters Tuberous sclerosis, (TBS), (also called Bourneville  Pringle disease), autosomal dominant disorder with variable expressivity and genetic heterogeneity (two loci are recognized: one on 9q34 and one on 16p13). The incidence is reported as between 1/10,000 and 1/150,000 births with no sexual predilection. Other frequent lesions are cardiac rhabdomyoma (80% of cardiac rhabdomyomas are associated with tuberous sclerosis), intra- and extracranial aneurysms, renal angiomyolipomas, carcinomas, pulmonary lymphangiomyomatosis, cysts, interstitial reticular infiltrates and spontaneous pneumothorax. Various skeletal and endocrine manifestations can be present. The four major intracranial manifestations of TBS are cortical tubers, white matter abnormalities, subependymal nodules and subependymal giant cell astrocytoma. All these lesions are postulated to represent the same defect of cell proliferation and differentiation in the germinal matrix with resulting disorders of migration and cortical organization, variably expressed all along the glioneuronal units. Cortical tubers are the most characteristic and epileptogenic lesions of TBS. They are nodules that involve both the cortex and the underlying white matter, composed of bizarre giant astrocytic and neuronal cells, dense fibrillary gliosis and diminished, disordered myelin sheaths. As the pathological findings in cortical tuber are similar to those of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) with balloon cells (BC), some authors believe that FCD with BC and formes frustes of TBS may in fact represent the same entity.

The diseases are named after a characteristic abnormal growth in the brain, which takes the shape of a tuber or root. Tuberous Sclerosis, Angiofibromas - Face Tuberous Sclerosis, Hypopigmented Macule Tuberous sclerosis is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait (only one parent must pass on the bad gene for the child to get the disease). However, a high percentage of cases are due to new mutations (which occur in the sperm or egg of one of the parents that created the particular child), so there usually is no family history of the disease.

Disorder Zone Archives Tuberous Sclerosis Matthew Carlos Introduction Tuberous sclerosis (TSC) is a rare genetic disorder that is characterized by benign tumors in vital organs such as the brain, eyes, kidneys, heart and skin. The name, tuberous sclerosis, comes from tuber-like growths in the brain which calcify with age and become hard, or sclerotic. The condition develops before birth, occurs in both males and females, and is seen in all races and ethnic groups. There are 25,000 to 40,000 individuals in the United States with TSC and approximately 1,000,000 worldwide. TSC has an occurrence rate of 1 out of 5,800 live births, although it is believed that there are many undiagnosed cases. TSC is caused by two different defective genes; a defective gene on chromosome 9q34 called TSC1 and a defective gene on chromosome 16p13 called TSC2. Only one of these two genes needs to be affected for the individual to have TSC. One-third of the cases of TSC are hereditary and are autosomal dominant, meaning that only one parent needs to have the defective gene to pass it on to the child. In this case, each child has a 50% chance of inheriting TSC. The other two-thirds are the result of a spontaneous (or new) mutation. A case of TSC was first described by Von Recklinghausen in 1862. In 1880, Bourneville gave a complete description and name to the disorder.

Tuberous Sclerosis Treatment Definition An inheritable disorder characterized by skin lesions , varying degrees of mental retardation , and seizures Causes, incidence, and risk factors Tuberous sclerosis is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. It is one of a group of diseases described as neurocutaneous syndromes because of extensive involvement of both the skin and the central nervous system (brain and/or spinal cord). The symptoms of tuberous sclerosis, however, vary considerably from minimally affected people with normal intelligence and no seizures to severely affected people with profound retardation and frequent, difficult-to-control seizures. The disease is named after the typical brain lesion which is called a tuber. Severely affected people may develop seizures shortly after birth that are characterized by infantile spasms (hypsarrhythmia). Later seizures tend to be myoclonic. Mental retardation becomes evident as infants begin to miss their normal developmental milestones Several different skin lesions are common in tuberous sclerosis.
