ABSTRACT
We present the case of a boy with
in utero diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis
(TS), suspected by the finding of cardiac
rabdomyomas and confirmed by fetal
brain MRI with typical subependymal
nodules and sucortical tubers.
We emphasise that epileptic spasms
are very frequent and usually the presenting
seizures is TS, as occurred in our patient.
Electroencephalogram revealed an
atypical hypsarrythmia, and the patient
responded to vigabatrin.
The need to be aware of this epileptic
encephalopathy in TS and the importance
of an early treatment are underlined.
