more
Tuberous sclerosis is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a triad of signs: seizures, mental retardation, and small benign facial skin tumors (angiofibromas). The name, composed of the Latin tuber (swelling) and the Greek skleros (hard), refers to the pathological finding of thick, firm and pale gyri, called "tubers", in the brains of patients postmortem. The acronym for Tuberous Sclerosis is TSC (Tuberous Sclerosis Complex), to avoid confusion with Tourette syndrome.
