title: [Ocular changes in patients with tuberous sclerosis].
abstract: The authors discussed ocular changes observed in 100 children with tuberous sclerosis. Retinal tumors, typical of this disease, were found in 19 patients (19%). This incidence was higher in older children. Three types of tumors were observed: a) flat or slightly elevated, indistinct, salmon-grey colour, b) whitish-yellow, mulberry-like, located in disc area, c) mixed or intermediate. The authors observed 4 stages of tumors' development: changes in distribution of pigment in retina, arising of semitranslucent, salmon-grey tumors, mineralization of tumors-so called intermediate type, mulberry-like type. Progress from one stage to the next one is slow.
