    Extractions: On Serendip Tuberous Sclerosis (TS), or Bourneville disease, covers a broad range of afflictions, but neurologically afflicts 1/6000 newborns in the United States . Its name derives from the "tuber-like growth, on the brain which calcify with age and become hard or sclerotic" . Brain tubers have no distinction between white and gray matter, as indicated by the arrow in the biopsy. TS was first observed by von Recklinshausen in 1862, and was named by Bourneville as tuberous sclerosis in 1880; he described it as a "'tuberous sclerosis of the cerebral circumvolutions' for the unique cerebral pathologic changes he found in the brain of a 15 year-old epileptic and mentally handcapped girl" . The patient's face was also scarred with lesions, now know as facial angiofibroma . By the early 1900's TS was made according to evidence of what is known as the Vogt triad, including seizures, mental retardation, and the facial angiofibroma. It is now known that this triad is not necessarily needed to diagnose TS. The current diagnosis is based upon the following: Multiple ungual fibroma

What are the signs of tuberous sclerosis? How is tuberous sclerosis treated? Printer-friendly version Email this article Tuberous sclerosis causes growths in the brain, eyes, heart, kidney, skin or lungs. These growths are usually benign (not cancer). The first signs may be seizures and spots on the skin. Some people who have tuberous sclerosis may have learning problems or seizures that are hard to control. Tuberous sclerosis isn't common, but it isn't rare either. Up to 40,000 people in the United States have it. The disorder occurs in both sexes and in people of all races and ethnic groups. Return to top About half of the time, tuberous sclerosis is passed from a parent to a child, or inherited. If one parent has tuberous sclerosis, every child born to that parent has a 50% chance of inheriting it. However, in about half the children who have tuberous sclerosis, the mother and father have no signs of it. It seems that sometimes a normal gene changes (mutates) to the abnormal form that causes tuberous sclerosis.

    Extractions: AAFP Home Page Journals Vol. 61/No. 3 (February 1, 2000) A patient information handout on tuberous sclerosis, written by the authors of this article, is provided on page 710. Tuberous sclerosis is the most common neurocutaneous syndrome after neurofibromatosis. Dermatologic manifestations may be the only clues the family physician has to the diagnosis of the disorder, which is also marked by childhood seizures and mental retardation. Characteristic signs of tuberous sclerosis vary widely in severity and can include hypopigmented "ash-leaf spots," fibrous plaques on the forehead, angiofibromas on the face (adenoma sebaceum), a shagreen patch on the lower back and fibromas of the nails. Computed tomographic scanning or magnetic resonance imaging reveal subependymal nodules or cortical "tubers" in the brain. Associated cardiac, retinal, renal and pulmonary pathology can increase morbidity and mortality. Genetic counseling is helpful but has limited use because of the variation in genetic expression and the frequency of new gene mutations that cause this disorder. (Am Fam Physician 2000;61:703-8,710.) T he term "tuberous sclerosis" was first used in 1880 to describe a syndrome consisting of seizures, mental retardation and facial rash in a young girl. However, this complex disorder was initially identified in 1862, and an association between seizures, mental retardation and facial angiofibromas (adenoma sebaceum), referred to as "Vogt's triad," was established in 1908.

    Extractions: Tuberous Sclerosis Treatment Definition An inheritable disorder characterized by skin lesions , varying degrees of mental retardation , and seizures Causes, incidence, and risk factors Tuberous sclerosis is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. It is one of a group of diseases described as neurocutaneous syndromes because of extensive involvement of both the skin and the central nervous system (brain and/or spinal cord). The symptoms of tuberous sclerosis, however, vary considerably from minimally affected people with normal intelligence and no seizures to severely affected people with profound retardation and frequent, difficult-to-control seizures. The disease is named after the typical brain lesion which is called a tuber. Severely affected people may develop seizures shortly after birth that are characterized by infantile spasms (hypsarrhythmia). Later seizures tend to be myoclonic. Mental retardation becomes evident as infants begin to miss their normal developmental milestones Several different skin lesions are common in tuberous sclerosis.

The diseases are named after a characteristic abnormal growth in the brain in the shape of a tuber. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Tuberous sclerosis is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait although a high percentage of cases are due to new mutations, so there usually is no family history of the disease. It is one of a group of diseases described as neurocutaneous syndromes because of extensive involvement of both the skin and the central nervous system (brain and/or spinal cord). The symptoms of tuberous sclerosis, however, vary considerably from minimally affected people with normal intelligence and no seizures to severely affected people with profound retardation and frequent, difficult-to-control seizures or serious tumors.
