lymphangioleiomyomatosis/seizures

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by seizures, mental retardation, and various hamartomatous lesions, including renal angiomyolipoma (AML) and pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis. A 22-year-old woman with TSC presented with multiple renal AMLs exceeding

A 29-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a 7-day history of elevated temperature to 39.5 degrees C associated with headache and nausea. She had been diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex 10 years earlier. Her unconsciousness progressed, and she was diagnosed as having aseptic

BACKGROUND Pulmonary involvement in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) includes lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) and multifocal micronodular pneumocyte hyperplasia (MMPH). This retrospective study investigated pulmonary involvement in Japanese TSC patients and pulmonary function testing in

Background: Pulmonary Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is an uncommon disease and may be associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). LAM is reported to occur exclusively in females of the premenopausal age group. Here we report a rare

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease, of unknown etiology, affecting women almost exclusively. Microscopically, LAM consists of a diffuse proliferation of smooth muscle cells. LAM can occur without evidence of other disease (sporadic LAM) or in conjunction with tuberous sclerosis complex

Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disorder limited almost exclusively to women of reproductive age. LAM affects about 5% of women with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). LAM also occurs in women who do not have TSC (sporadic LAM). TSC is a tumour suppressor gene syndrome

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) or Bourneville disease is a rare autosomal dominant neurocutaneous disorder that affects various organs. Pulmonary involvement in TSC may consist of lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) and multifocal micronodular pneumocyte hyperplasia (MMPH), occurring together or alone.

Lymphangiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease, of unknown etiology, affecting women almost exclusively. Lung transplantation is the only consistently effective therapy for LAM. Microscopically, LAM consists of a diffuse proliferation of smooth muscle cells. LAM can occur without evidence of other

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) either sporadic or a part of tuberous sclerosis complex is rare in paediatric age group. Here, we report a case of LAM with tuberous sclerosis in an infant. She was referred to our institute at the age of 4 months as a case of recurrent bilateral pneumothorax requiring

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant multisystemic disorder caused by deregulation of the mTOR pathway, and represents one of the leading genetic causes of epilepsy. mTOR inhibitors (Sirolimus and Everolimus) are currently approved only for the treatment of growing subependymal

OBJECTIVE Renal manifestations of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) occur with a high frequency and a wide range of severity. The onset and complications of each affected organ depend on the age. This study aimed to investigate the associations between comorbidities, frequency, and size of

BACKGROUND Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC); is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the formation of hamartomatous lesions in multiple organs, with a birth incidence of around one in 10,000. Although it usually manifests itself in early life, we present a case of an adult woman who we

Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a multi-system disorder that is highly variable in its clinical presentation. Current molecular diagnostic methods permit identification of mutations in either TSC1 or TSC2 in 75-85% of TSC patients. Here we examine the clinical characteristics of those TSC

Tuberous sclerosis (TS) is a rare, sporadic or autosomal dominant disease characterized by the triad of seizures, mental retardation and angiofibromas. Lungs are rarely involved in TS, and pulmonary involvement is almost always found in females. We report the case of a 52 year -old female,

We describe the clinical presentation, pulmonary function tests, chest radiograph, and computed tomography findings, response to hormonal treatment, and duration of survival of nine patients with pulmonary involvement in tuberous sclerosis complex with follow-up over an average of 17 years (range, 1
