Tuberous sclerosis associated with a retinal angioma.

A 62-year-old woman known to have tuberous sclerosis had an ususual peripapillary retinal elevation in her left eye. The patient had no specific ocular symptoms and we considered the diagnosis of papilledema secondary to increased intracranial pressure. Retinal angiography established that she had a peripapillary exophytic retinal angioma associated with an epipapillary astrocytic hamartoma in this eye.
