ABSTRACT

Tuberous Sclerosis (TS) is a rare chronic multiorganic disease that presents with tumors mainly comprising the nervous system, kidneys, skin and the eye, specifically the retina. Among the tumors in TS, aproximately 30-50% affect the retina, this condition is known as retinal astrocytic hamartoma (RAH) which derives from an anomalous growth of retinal astrocytes in the nerve fiber layer. We present a clinical case report of a 7 year old male patient with diagnosis of an asymptomatic TS, which presents for his first ophtalmic examination.
