The diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) may be made at any point in an individual’s life, young or old. A newborn infant with white spots on her skin may be diagnosed with TSC when she has her first seizure and the tubers in the brain are seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A gifted and talented 5-year-old with facial angiofibromas may be diagnosed with TSC when his caregiver takes him to see a dermatologist because of the “rash” on his face. An adult may be diagnosed with TSC after his child is diagnosed with the disease.
No matter when the diagnosis comes, it is a diagnosis that can be difficult to understand and accept, and it can be devastating for both the individual and the family. Below are some links that may help in accepting such a diagnosis.
