Source abstract
Tuberous sclerosis is a rare and serious genetic disease, classically characterized by epilepsy, mental deficiency, and sebaceous adenomas; however, it may also be associated with the development of multiple tumors in various organs. Pulmonary artery aneurysm has rarely been described in the literature. This article reports a case of tuberous sclerosis in a 3 year old child with a pulmonary artery trunk aneurysm, cardiac rhabdomyomas, and a bicuspid aortic valve, a combination that has been rarely described in the literature, and discusses the importance of early diagnosis, management, and treatment.
