The tuberous sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a genetic disease, mainly characterized by the development of benign tumors that can affect different organs. The skin, the brain and the kidneys are often affected, eyes, heart, teeth and lungs are less often.
There is a great diversity of manifestations of the disease with a time course very variable from one person to another and according to age, ranging from forms virtually inapparentes, limited to the skin, to more severe forms affecting the brain, the kidneys or the lungs.
It has been described for the first time in 1880 by D. M. Complex.
The manifestations of TSC is very diverse because many organs can be affected. There are large differences from one person to another and according to age. This diversity also exists within the same family when multiple people are infected with the STB. In fact, the manifestations can be late and moderate, and sometimes inapparentes for some people, while others may have manifestations
early and severe.
The enumeration of all the possible manifestations of the disease, may seem worrisome, but you should know that no one person has all of them, at the same time.
