Initial presentation with dilated cardiomyopathy in a patient of tuberous sclerosis: a rare case report

Dharmendra Jain et al. Indian Heart J. 2013 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

A 35-year-old man presented with dilated cardiomyopathy, an unusual association with tuberous sclerosis. Clinical history and examination were consistent with tuberous sclerosis including major features of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) like facial angiofibroma, shagreen patch, subependymal nodules, and angiomyolipoma of kidney. The clinical manifestations, pathogenesis and evaluation of tuberous sclerosis are discussed.
