Tuberous sclerosis (TSC) is a rare genetic disease that causes benign tumors to grow in the brain and on other vital organs. It commonly affects the central nervous system (CNS). In addition to the benign tumors that frequently occur in TSC, other common symptoms include seizures, mental retardation, behavioral problems and skin abnormalities. TSC may present at birth, but signs can be subtle and full symptoms may take some time to develop. Definitive antenatal diagnosis is very rare.
