Tuberous sclerosis: Inside and outside
Journal Title: Medical Journal Armed Forces - Year 2017, Vol 73, Issue 3
Abstract
Tuberous sclerosis is an autosomal dominant neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by hamartomatous lesions in multiple organs. We report an unusual case of tuberous sclerosis in pictorial format wherein most of the diagnostic findings were present. This case would be of immense value in identifying this disease entity at all echelons of medical care.
