Objective

To summarize the clinical characteristics of neonatal tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).

Methods

On December 13, 2017, due to high-risk infants, neonatal tuberous sclerosis complex yet to be investigated, a neonatal TSC was admitted and made a definite diagnosis in Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology was chosen as research subject. Retrospective analysis was made on the clinical case data of the infant and the clinical characteristics were summarized. Setting up the retrieval strategy for TSC literatures review: with the key words of "tuberous sclerosis" "neonatal sclerosis" and "cardiac rhabdomyoma" in Chinese, "tuberous sclerosis" "neonate" and"neonatal cardiac tumor" in English, the literatures on TSC were collected from Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, China National Knowledge Infrastructure database and PubMed literatures database from construction to April 2017, and the clinical characteristics of TSC from these literatures were summarized. This study was in line with World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki revised in 2013.

Results

①This patient was a girl with age of 30 min after birth when hospitalized, the admission diagnosis was high-risk infant, neonatal tuberous sclerosis complex yet to be investigated. Fetal heart color Doppler echocardiography at 37 gestational age showed "cardiac rhabdomyoma". There were no specific clinical symptoms or signs after birth, and the results of laboratory examination were basically normal. The results of cranial MRI showed "subependymal nodules". The neonatal was diagnosed as TSC by clinical manifestations. After admission, the neonatal was given nutrition and supportive treatments for 5 days, and the pathogenetic condition was stable and she was discharged by her parents′ request. There was no convulsions or skin lesions during the telephone follow-up until 5 months after birth. ②The results of literatures searched about TSC showed that the most common clinical manifestations of neonatal TSC were skin lesions, followed by cardiac and central nervous system lesions, and a few of these infants who underwent genetic examination had TSC2 gene compound heterozygous mutation, also part of TSC patients who accorded with clinical diagnosis of TSC got negative genetic examination results.

Conclusions

Neonatal physicians should strengthen the identification and screening of TSC for those neonates without typical clinical manifestations to avoid missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.
