Epilepsy surgery for tuberous sclerosis complex: a case report and literature review

摘要

@@ Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a multisystem genetic disorder with variable phenotypic expression.Epilepsy is the most common neurological complication and up to 80%-90% of the individuals with TSC suffer from epilepsy at some point in their lifetime.Developmental delay, intellectual impairment, autism,behavioral problems, and neuropsychiatric disorders occur commonly in individuals with TSC and may be associated with poorly controlled epilepsy.1 In this paper we reported a case report of TSC, focusing on the patient's clinical symptom, surgical aspects and neuropathology through a comprehensive analysis.
