Cardiac tumours have been frequently reported in patients with tuberous sclerosis but their incidence at different ages has been evaluated in only a few studies. We performed echocardiography in 47 children with tuberous sclerosis and found tumours in 22 (47%). In none, except one newborn, did we observe any clinical symptoms of heart failure. Tumours were more frequent in children below 2 years of age (91%) than in older children. As other signs of tuberous sclerosis are often absent in infants, echocardiography may be regarded as the most useful diagnostic test at this age. Follow up studies were done in 12 children and tumour regression occurred in 6 patients. 相似文献

A search for children presenting with signs or symptoms of cardiac rhabdomyomas was made through members of the paediatric section of the British Cardiac Society in order to establish their birth incidence, presenting features, clinical course, and the frequency of a concurrent diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis. Fifteen children were identified and 12 had tuberous sclerosis (80%). Heart failure was the presentation in six, five of whom died; six presented because of a murmur and three because of arrhythmias. The prevalence of echocardiographic evidence of cardiac rhabdomyomas in a population of patients with tuberous sclerosis was established. Twenty individuals had echocardiography and eight had echodensities consistent with cardiac rhabdomyomas. It is concluded that the minimum birth incidence for children presenting because of the effects of cardiac rhabdomyomas is 1/326,000 and a minimum of 80% have tuberous sclerosis. In a population of patients with tuberous sclerosis a minimum of 60% under 18 years have cardiac rhabdomyomas. 相似文献

An hydropic infant was delivered at 32 weeks gestation by emergency Caesarean section for acute polyhydramnios. A diagnosis of cardiac rhabdomyomata was made on echocardiography. The baby survived 10 days, during which time repeated episodes of supraventricular tachycardia occurred. She eventually died of cardiac failure following an episode of septicaemia, convulsions and aspiration pneumonia. Necropsy showed multiple cardiac rhabdomyomata and numerous cerebral germinal layer and periventricular white matter nodules. This case stresses the importance of clinical investigations and perinatal necropsy in non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) in determining the causes of clinical presentation and the underlying pathology. 相似文献

Case report of a previously healthy girl who presented at the age of 9 months a paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. Echocardiography revealed multiple cardiac tumors. The detection of a few hardly visible unpigmented patches of skin allowed the diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis with cardiac rhabdomyomas. Computerised tomography of the brain showed typical calcifications and multiple hypodense parenchymal lesions. In the further course of the disease, progressive multifocal epilepsy and severe retardation of psychomotor development occurred, angiofibromas appeared on the face, and a suspected angiomyolipoma on renal sonography. A very mild form of this autosomal dominant phacomatosis could be detected in the patient's mother. As cardiac rhabdomyomas and tuberous sclerosis are frequently associated, investigations for both these findings with modern methods of body imaging are recommended in order to allow early diagnosis and genetic counselling. 相似文献

This article reports 4 cases with cardiac rhabdomyomas diagnosed during intrauterine life. Echocardiographic follow-up at
9–30 months showed regression of the tumors in 3 cases (75%). Two cases (50%) developed tuberous sclerosis during that period.
Fetal echocardiography promotes early diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis through prenatal detection of cardiac rhabdomyoma, and
facilitates genetic counselling of families at risk 相似文献

Cardiac hamartomas are frequently the earliest revelation of Bourneville's tuberous sclerosis. They sometimes allow to consider the diagnosis during the antenatal period, and to plan therefore genetic and CNS investigations. After the neonatal period, the evolution of hamartomas is frequently favourable, characterised with at least partial involution. OBSERVATION: Antenatal equivocal cardiac echographic images did not allow the diagnosis in a fetus whose father had Bourneville's disease. Other antenatal investigations (genetics, central nervous system MRI) were not helpful. The diagnosis was carried out at birth as cardiac ultrasound reliably showed two cardiac hamartomas. CONCLUSION: Even when suspected, the antenatal diagnosis of Bourneville's disease is difficult. The presence of cardiac hamartomas at birth is a reliable mean to make the diagnosis. 相似文献

The author evaluates the usefulness of clinical features and some supplementary investigations in diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis in children. 52 children ranging in age from 1 month to 14 years took part in the study. Usually depigmented naevi were the first sign of tuberous sclerosis and were seen in 98% of affected children. Epileptic seizures occurred in 96% of patients, mostly during the first year of life. Axial computed tomography of brain seems to be very helpful in diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis in every age. Multiple periventricular calcifications were found in 98% of children. Two-dimensional echocardiography was especially useful in infants and children below 2 years of age. Retinal hamartomas were found in 25% of children with tuberous sclerosis. In some cases these changes were revealed during the first year of age. Abnormal EEGs were found in 90% of recordings. The EEGs tended to improve with increasing age. In 25% of children one of parents was affected by tuberous sclerosis. The careful skin examination of both parents can be especially helpful in children with doubtful diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis. 相似文献

The families of two patients with known tuberous sclerosis were electively evaluated by computed tomography. The CT positive (and negative) examination proved to be valuable for the genetic counseling of family members without overt clinical manifestations of tuberous sclerosis. Two patients had evidence of smaller enhancing lesions (minimal demonstrable mass without hydrocephalus) following intravenous contrast enhancement. We, therefore, suggest the use of contrast enhanced scans in addition to the plain scans to identify what may represent occult neoplasms. Addominal CT scans can prove useful in identifying the frequently associated renal hamartomas. 相似文献

In a neonate with tuberous sclerosis, cardiac tumours were diagnosed by two-dimensional echocardiography and evaluated by electrocardiogram-gated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The tumour size, shape and mobility in the ventricular cavities were more precisely determined by two-dimensional echocardiography than electrocardiogramgated MRI, while the extent of tumour mass at the apex was more clearly delineated by MRI. As two-dimensional echocardiography provides real-time imaging of cardiac anatomy without sedation, it is useful for initial evaluation of cardiac masses in neonates with genetic predisposition to tuberous sclerosis.Abbreviation MRI

A two-week-old male infant had a nodular salmon-colored lesion on his right lower eyelid and hypopigmented mascular lesions on the abdomen and right thigh since birth. At five months of age he developed a generalized seizure disorder. Histologic examination of the eyelid lesion revealed an angiofibroma, which was an unusual initial site of involvement in tuberous sclerosis. 相似文献

Five children with tuberous sclerosis (TS), a polysystemic disease, had cardiac tumors detected by B-mode echocardiography. In a fetus, sonography performed at the eighth month showed the presence of a cardiac mass and of polycystic kidneys: the diagnosis of TS was confirmed postnatally because of the presence of calcified cerebral nodules. A newborn dichorial twin had paroxysmal tachycardia at ten days. B-mode echocardiography showed the presence of seven intracardiac tumors, and cerebral CT the presence of multifocal periventricular calcifications. An absence in a nine month old baby prompted an electrocardiogram that proved abnormal; a B-mode echocardiography showed large apical cardiac tumor; again cerebral CT showed periventricular calcified nodules. Two girls, 9 and 10 y.o. respectively, affected by TS, with normal electrocardiograms, both presented a small, asymptomatic, intracardiac mass demonstrated sonographically. In recent years, prenatal sonography and B-mode echocardiography in patients with TS demonstrated with increasing frequency the association of cardiac tumors (rhabdomyomas) with TS. Tumor detection often precedes the appearance of the cutaneous and neurological signs typical of the disease. This paper emphasizes the role of echocardiography in detecting cardiac tumors, as an early sign for the diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis, and to depict the natural history of cardiac rhabdomyoma with its variable clinical presentation and prognosis. 相似文献

Despite considerable progress in the last few years, the neurobiologic basis of autism in tuberous sclerosis complex is still largely unknown and its clinical management represents a major challenge for child neurologists. Recent evidence suggests that early-onset refractory epilepsy and functional deficits associated with the anatomical lesions in the temporal lobes may be associated with autism. No one factor alone (cognitive impairment, tuber localization, occurrence of infantile spasms, focal EEG abnormalities), can be causally linked with the abnormal behaviour. Autism may also reflect a direct effect of the abnormal genetic program. Incidence of autism associated with Tuberous Sclerosis may be significantly higher than the rates of cardiac and renal abnormalities, for which screening is routinely conducted in this population. Hopefully, early diagnosis of autism will allow for earlier treatment and the potential for better outcome for children with Tuberous Sclerosis. 相似文献
