title: Aortic aneurysm in a 5-year-old boy with tuberous sclerosis.
abstract: A 5-year-old boy known to have tuberous sclerosis was admitted with an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The aneurysm was resected and replaced by a bifurcation prosthesis. Follow-up, which amounts up to 4 years, has been uneventful. Prompt recognition and surgical treatment are essential in the management of this rare but potentially lethal condition.
