Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) also known as Bournneville disease. TSC is a multisystemic genetic
disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance, of variable expression, which is mainly characterized by
the presence of benign tumors or hamartomas in the nervous system and skin, but which may also be present in the heart, kidney,
lung and other organs. The most frequent symptom is epilepsy, affecting 80-90% of patients with TSC which manifests itself in
childhood between 1 to 3 years of age. We present a case of sporadic onset tuberous sclerosis with epilepsy that had a causal link
with TSC after admission to the emergency room in a convulsive status.
