[Tuberous sclerosis and intracranial aneurysms: a rare association].

INTRODUCTION

Tuberous sclerosis is an autosomal dominant inherited phakomatosis. It is associated with a wide variety of central nervous system abnormalities, but intracranial aneurysms are rare.

CASE REPORT

We report a 34-year-old patient fulfilling the diagnostic criteria of tuberous sclerosis in association with intracranial aneurysm.

DISCUSSION

This association has been reported in only 17 other cases of tuberous sclerosis. We discuss the etiopathogenic mechanisms, preferential localizations and the various therapeutic propositions.
