Hi Mr Pawan,
Thank you for posting your query.
Tuberous sclerosis (TS) is a geentic disease.
The main problems are developmental delay, learning disability and seizuers.
Seizures can be well controlled with anti-epileptic drugs, such as sodium valproate.
If tubers are large in size, surgery may sometimes be required.
Please consult a neurologist for advice.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
