Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Sorry to know that your son is suffering from Tuberous sclerosis.
There is no specific treatment for Tuberous Sclerosis.
Treatment depends upon symptoms and it varies from patient to patient.
Child need help from group of professionals like psychologist,neurologist,cardiologist etc.
Some of the patients need antiepileptic drugs due to seizures.
Some need laser therapy for skin lesions.
Brain tubers can be treated with medicines whereas kidney tumour need surgery.
Get well soon.
Take care
Dr.Indu Bhushan
