[A case of a pediatric patient with tuberous sclerosis (Bourneville-Pringle disease) and frequent epileptic seizure for intensive dental treatment under general anesthesia].
Tuberous sclerosis (Bourneville-Pringle disease) is a rare disease with a triad of mental retardation, epilepsy, and facial spot. Management of the patients with tuberous sclerosis under general anesthesia has been previously reported. However, there are few case reports about management under general anesthesia of a pediatric patient with tuberous sclerosis with frequent epileptic seizure. Here, we report a case of a pediatric patient with tuberous sclerosis and frequent epileptic seizure who underwent intensive dental treatment under general anesthesia with careful management of epilepsy. The patient was discharged on the day of surgery without any complications. In this case report, we discussed the appropriate assessment of the complications of tuberous sclerosis; such as, of central nervous, circulatory, respiratory, endocrine, and urinary systems including the management of general anesthesia.
