ABSTRACT

El Complejo Esclerosis Tuberosa es un síndrome neurocutáneo multisistémico producido por un padecimiento genético hereditario de carácter autosómico dominante de alta penetrancia y una expresividad variable. Afecta a muchos órganos, principalmente a la piel, cerebro, sistema nervioso, riñones y corazón. La causa es una mutación en uno de los genes TSC1 o TSC2; se ha estimado que su incidencia es de 1 en 5.000 a 10.000 nacidos vivos. Se reporta el caso clínico de una gestante derivado al servicio de Ginecología y Obstetricia del Hospital Obrero No 2 de la Caja Nacional de Salud por hallazgo ecográfico cardiaco anormal. El estudio morfológico en el servicio concluyó que se trataba de una probable esclerosis tuberosa; al término del embarazo se realizó cesárea abdominal por causa obstétrica. Los estudios postnatales confirmaron los hallazgos.


The Tuberous Sclerosis Complex is a multisystem neurocutaneous syndrome produced by a hereditary genetic disease of an autosomal dominant gene with high penetrance and variable expressiveness. It affects many organs mainly to the skin, brain, nervous system, kidneys and heart. The cause is a mutation in one of the genes TSC1 or TSC2; it has been considered that its incidence is 1 in 5.000 to 10.000 born alive. The clinical case of a pregnant woman was reported and referred to the Gynecology and Obstetrics service of the Obrero Hospital No 2 of the Caja Nacional de Salud due to an abnormal cardiac ultrasound finding. The morphological study in the service concluded that it was about a probable tuberous sclerosis; at the end of the pregnancy, a cesarean surgery was performed for obstetrical reasons. The postnatal studies confirmed the discoveries.
