| Summary: | Background. Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant neurocutaneous disease with multisystem involvement.
Case. Here, a mother and infant couple was presented with maternal and fetal TSC including demonstrative clinical findings and genetic analysis. The interesting point of this case report is that maternal and fetal TSC was identified after the mother gave birth to a child with a cardiac rhabdomyoma. The genetic analysis revealed a novel mutation which was the same in both the mother and her infant.
Conclusion. We would like to bring to the attention of clinicians this entity and to emphasize that maternal and fetal TSC can adversely affect maternal and fetal health, and deserves close follow up. Our recommendation is that if cardiac rhabdomyoma/cortical tuber/renal angiomyolipoma are present in prenatal ultrasonography, the parents should be evaluated for TSC.
