AB A  2-year-old  girl  was  brought  to  her  pediatrician  for  her  well  child  visit.  On  exam,  she  was  noted  to  have  several  hypomelanotic  lesions  over  her  trunk  (Figures  205-1  to  205-3).  Based  on  the  presence  of  these  lesions,  the  pediatrician  orders  an  MRI  of  the  brain,  which  revealed  subependymal  tubers,  which  also  projected  into  the  ventricles.  She  was  diagnosed  with  Tuberous  sclerosis,  and  a  renal  ultrasound  and  cardiac  echocardiogram  were  obtained,  which  did  not  reveal  any  abnormalities.  A  multidisciplinary  approach  to  her  care  was  planned  and  included  a  pediatric  neurologist,  developmental  pediatrician,  and  dermatologist.
