Tuberous sclerosis, a genetic disorder, caused seizures and skin lesions in a patient diagnosed late at age 26. This case highlights the severe, multi-organ impact of tuberous sclerosis, including neurological, renal, and pulmonary complications.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Neurology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder.
  • TSC can affect multiple organs, including the brain, skin, kidneys, and lungs.
  • Delayed diagnosis can lead to significant morbidity and mortality.

Observation:

  • The patient presented with childhood seizures and characteristic skin lesions of tuberous sclerosis.
  • Diagnosis was significantly delayed until the patient reached 26 years of age.
  • Multi-organ involvement included the central nervous system, skin, kidneys, and lungs.

Findings:

  • The patient developed end-stage renal disease requiring long-term hemodialysis.
  • A major complication was an intracerebral hemorrhage.
