Retinal involvement in tuberous sclerosis.
In two infants hospitalized at the ages of three and one-half months and 11 months because of epileptic seizures, the diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis was reached upon the basis of retinal astrocytomas found in the fundus examination. It is recommended that indirect ophthalmoscopy be performed in all infants and young children referred with signs possibly related to this disease.
