[Anesthetic management of a patient with tuberous sclerosis].
Tuberous sclerosis is characterized by facial angiofibromatosis, epilepsy, and mental retardation. There have been only a few reports of anesthetic management of patients with tuberous sclerosis. We managed a 22-year-old patient with tuberous sclerosis using nitrous oxide (67%) in oxygen supplemented with fentanyl and midazolam. There were no untoward events related to anesthesia and surgery. Problems in managing patients with tuberous sclerosis are also discussed.
