This case study presents a 37-year-old man with tuberous sclerosis, highlighting the classic triad of symptoms and bilateral retinal astrocytomas. Ocular findings showed minor progression over a 6-year follow-up period.

Area of Science:

  • Neurocutaneous syndromes
  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical imaging

Background:

  • Tuberous sclerosis is a genetic disorder causing tumors to form in various organs, including the brain, skin, kidneys, and eyes.
  • The classic triad of tuberous sclerosis includes intellectual disability, epilepsy, and facial angiofibromas (adenoma sebaceum).
  • Retinal astrocytomas are a common ocular manifestation of tuberous sclerosis.

Observation:

  • A 37-year-old male patient with diagnosed tuberous sclerosis presented with the classic triad of symptoms.
  • Ophthalmoscopic examination revealed bilateral retinal astrocytomas with a characteristic mulberry-like appearance.
  • The patient underwent a 6-year follow-up period to monitor the progression of ocular changes.

Findings:

  • The case details the diagnostic process, including CT and NMR of the head, ocular ultrasound, and fluorescein and ICG angiography.

  • Small but noticeable progression of the ocular findings was documented during the 6-year follow-up.
  • The study emphasizes the importance of regular ophthalmic monitoring in patients with tuberous sclerosis.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the phenotypic variability and long-term progression of ocular manifestations in tuberous sclerosis.
    • Accurate diagnosis and monitoring using advanced imaging techniques are crucial for managing patients with this condition.
    • Understanding the progression of retinal astrocytomas can aid in predicting visual impairment and guiding therapeutic strategies.
