PATINO BAHENA, Emilia; CALDERON-COLMENERO, Juan; BUENDIA, Alfonso y JUANICO, Antonio. Giant aortic aneurysm and rhabdomyomas in infant with tuberous sclerosis (Case report). Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2005, vol.75, n.4, pp.448-450. ISSN 1665-1731.
We present the case of a giant aneurysm and dissection of the abdominal aorta in an eight month old infant. Imaging studies especially a helicoid computerized axial tomography with 3D reconstruction, showed a lesion which extended from the diaphragm to the iliac arteries. The clinical findings and the above mentioned studies revealed non-obstructive heart rhabdomyomas, tubers in the brain and the abdominal aortic aneurysm, all of which were consistent with the diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis.
