Abstract

Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a neurocutaneous disorder characterised by hamartoma formation in multiple organs, particularly the skin, brain, eye, kidney and heart. It is rare for TSC to manifest as intractable seizures without cutaneous manifestations. Targeted history elicitation along with appropriate systemic examination backed by proper investigations in high index of suspicion is mandatory to diagnose a case of TSC in such scenario. We report such a case where a 27 year old male was diagnosed with TSC following admission with refractory seizures.
