Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 25-2 (April 1983) . - p.239-244 Titre : Two half-siblings with tuberous sclerosis, polycystic kidneys and hypertension Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : J. M. MICHEL, Auteur ; David H. MELLOR, Auteur ; J. H. DIGGLE, Auteur ; J. BRICE, Auteur ; P. SMALL, Auteur Année de publication : 1983 Article en page(s) : p.239-244 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Two half-brothers with tuberous sclerosis (TS) presented with polycystic kidneys in early childhood, before the classical stigmata became apparent. Their father shows no evidence of the disease. The older boys subsequently developed adenoma sebaceum at nine years and the younger boy developed infantile spasms. Hypertension occurred in both cases but neither showed evidence of renal failure. Extensive renal cyst formation in TS is rare, but when it does occur it differs from both infantile and adult-type polycystic disease. TS should be considered in the differential diagnosis of renal enlargement, haematuria and hypertension in childhood.
