ABSTRACT

Tuberous sclerosis complex is an autosomal dominant disorder in which hamartomas occur in several organs. Cardiac rhabdomyomas, the most common heart tumors of childhood, are well known to be associated with tuberous sclerosis complex. Arrhythmia due to cardiac rhabdomyomas may be the initial sign of tuberous sclerosis. We present here a case of tuberous sclerosis presenting with supraventricular tachycardia in 3 month-old girl who was found to have multiple cardiac rhabdomyomas during echocardiographic examination.
