Pulmonary disease is a rare symptom of Tuberous Sclerosis (TS). This case highlights a patient with TS who experienced prolonged pneumothorax, successfully treated with intubation, showcasing a rare but serious respiratory complication.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Dermatology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Tuberous Sclerosis (TS) is a rare genetic disorder affecting multiple organs.
  • Pulmonary manifestations, such as lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) and pneumothorax, are uncommon in TS.
  • Early recognition of respiratory symptoms is crucial for timely intervention.

Observation:

  • A patient with TS presented with seizures, dyspnea, facial lesions, and skin growths.
  • The patient had a persistent pneumothorax lasting three months.
  • Respiratory distress necessitated mechanical ventilation.

Findings:

  • The patient's lung successfully expanded after seven days of intubation.
  • This case underscores the potential for severe pulmonary complications in TS.

  • Successful management of prolonged pneumothorax was achieved through respiratory support.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering pulmonary TS in patients with neurological and dermatological findings.
    • Demonstrates that even long-standing pneumothorax in TS can be managed effectively with intensive respiratory care.
    • Emphasizes the need for multidisciplinary management in Tuberous Sclerosis patients with complex presentations.
