How is tuberous sclerosis detected?

There is no cure for tuberous sclerosis. Therefore, treatment is based upon symptoms.

TS has been reported in all ethnic groups and races with equal frequency.

Neurological symptoms may include tubers and other non-cancerous growths in the brain, cancerous brain tumors, seizures , and mental retardation or developmental delay.

TS is also known by the names tuberous sclerosis complex and Bourneville's disease.

Kidney disease can be a serious medical concern in TS; it is the most frequent cause of death in people with TS older than 30 years. The most common renal finding is the angiomyolipoma.
