Everolimus and intensive behavioral therapy in an adolescent with tuberous sclerosis complex and severe behavior☆☆☆★
BACKGROUND Self-injury and aggression have been reported in individuals with TSC (tuberous sclerosis complex), yet few data exist about treatment. Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, has been FDA-approved for subependymal giant cell astrocytomas (SEGAs) and renal angiomyolipomas in TSC. However, clinical use of everolimus with direct, real-time observations of self-injury and aggression in an indivi...
متن کاملCardiac Rhabdomyomas and Congenital Hypothyroidism: A Coincidence or Hamartia
Cardiac rhabdomyomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors in children. These tumors are generally asymptomatic, although they may be associated with neonatal tuberous sclerosis complex. Despite the fact that thyroid dysfunction rarely occurs in tuberous sclerosis, papillary adenomas (hamartomas) of the thyroid gland have been reported in a number of autopsies. Herein, we present the case ...

متن کاملPossible prevention of tuberous sclerosis complex lesions.
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a genetic disorder characterized by mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) activation and growth of benign tumors. Some TSC lesions, such as cardiac rhabdomyomas and cortical tubers in the brain, occur in fetuses, and some, such as renal angiomyolipomas (AMLs) and skin angiofibromas, develop over years. Recently, the mTOR inhibitor everolimus was shown to be ef...
