Abstract :
The tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is most commonly diagnosed around the age of 5 years.
Neonatal TSC is rare. The important neonatal manifestations include cardiac rhabdomyomas,
central nervous system abnormalities, and skin manifestations. We describe a neonate suffering
from the TSC with large and multiple cardiac rhabdomyomas. The largest rhabdomyoma measured
3.6 cm × 2 cm almost filling the right ventricle. The neonate did not have any symptoms. She
continued to remain asymptomatic until 8 months’ follow-up.
