Previously Undiagnosed Tuberous Sclerosis Complex in a Newborn: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Rare Disorders: Diagnosis & Therapy - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
The early diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), especially during the neonatal period is rare. If there is a family history, foetal cardiac masses diagnosed by foetal echocardiography, may suggest TSC. After the delivery, in the neonatal period, TSC should be rule out. We report a case who had TSC and diagnosed early in the neonatal period. We would like to describe the clinical features of TSC and emphasize the importance of early diagnosis.
