Q85.1: Tuberous sclerosis
You have a condition with malformations of the brain, skin or other organs.
This disorder is also known as tuberous sclerosis. It is congenital, which means you were born with it. Other family members may also be affected. The cause of tuberous sclerosis is a change in genetic make-up. This can result in various malformations. You may only have one or several different malformations.
This condition can cause benign or malignant tumors to develop in the brain. This can result in seizures. The tumors can also cause a variety of other symptoms. This could be behavioral issues, impaired vision or paralysis, for example.
This condition can also cause various malformations to develop on the skin. These include white, discolored places on the skin. Malformations in small blood vessels can cause reddish bumps to form on the face or firm bumps to form on fingers or toes. Another skin change might be skin-colored to brownish areas that are higher than the surrounding skin.
Benign or malignant tumors can also develop in other organs, such as in the kidneys.
