Chronic papilledema in a child with classical tuberous sclerosis

ABSTRACT

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a neurocutaneous syndrome manifesting as hamartomas in various organs. Vision loss in patients with TSC may occur due to astrocytic hamartoma affecting macula or Optic nerve. Rarely papilledema due to supbependymal nodule may result in bilateral pale disc and subsequent vision loss. We report a patient with vision loss due to papilledema secondary to subependymal nodule.
