[The usefulness of clinical signs and selected diagnostic methods in the diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis in children].
55 children took part in the study. Besides depigmented naevi and epilepsy, echocardiography plays the most significant role in the diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis in children below 2 years of age. In older children, besides dermatologic examination, cranial computerized tomography and abdominal ultrasonography are the most effective methods. This study suggests that the diagnostic effectiveness of different clinical signs and examinations depends on the age of the examined children. An appropriate diagnostic procedure may lead to earlier diagnostic and allows to avoid excessive examinations.
