Abstract

Tuberous sclerosis complex is a rare genetic disorder inherited in autosomal dominant fashion. It is a multisystem disorder involving brain, skin, kidneys, heart, eyes and lungs which becomes apparent only in late childhood, limiting the usefulness of early diagnosis in infancy. Here, we report a case of a 14 year female child presenting with seizure, mental retardation and typical skin manifestations.
