Is there any treatment?


There is no cure for TSC, although treatment is available for a number of the symptoms. Antiepileptic drugs may be used to control seizures and medications may be prescribed for behavior problems. Intervention programs, including special schooling and occupational therapy, may benefit individuals with special needs and developmental issues. Surgery, including dermabrasion and laser treatment, may be useful for treatment of skin lesions. Because TSC is a lifelong condition, individuals need to be regularly monitored by a doctor.  Due to the many varied symptoms of TSC, care by a clinician experienced with the disorder is recommended.
