J Child Neurol. 2004 Sep;19(9):690-8. doi: 10.1177/08830738040190091001.

Abstract

Tuberous sclerosis complex is a heterogeneous genetic disorder affecting multiple organ systems at various points throughout the lifespan. Increasingly, neurologically asymptomatic adults are being diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex through renal or pulmonary presentations. Although chiefly recognized for its cerebral manifestations, understanding of the non-neurologic aspects of the disorder has advanced greatly in recent years, and they are reviewed here.
