Abstract:
A patient with tuberous sclerosis and retinal astrocytic hamartomas is described. The different types of these astrocytomas are illustrated as well as systemic signs of Bourneville disease. Finally the value of the ophthalmological examination in the diagnostic work-up prior to genetic counselling the patient and/or the family members is discussed.
