title: Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome in association with tuberous sclerosis.
abstract: Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome occurring in association with tuberous sclerosis is rare in adults. Electrocardiography and echocardiography should be routinely performed in the assessment of patients with tuberous sclerosis as sudden cardiac death may be the first manifestation of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome in previously asymptomatic individuals. We report a case of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome in a 20-year-old female with tuberous sclerosis.
