== Overview ==
There are no [[pathognomonic]] clinical [[medical sign|signs]] for [[tuberous sclerosis]].  Many signs are present in individuals who are healthy (although rarely), or who have another disease.  A combination of signs, classified as major or minor, is required in order to establish a clinical diagnosis.
== Diagnostic Criteria ==
Diagnosis is made according to the following criteria:


==Overview==
*'''Definite''' – Either two major features or one major feature plus two minor features.

Individuals with tuberous sclerosis may experience none or all of the clinical signs discussed above.  The following table shows the prevalence of some of the clinical signs in individuals diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis.
* **includes tubers and cerebral white matter radial migration lines.
 
The various signs are then marked against the diagnostic criteria to produce a level of diagnostic certainty:
*'''Definite''' – Either two major features or one major feature plus two minor features.
*'''Probable''' – One major plus one minor feature.
*'''Suspect''' – Either one major feature or two or more minor features.

Overview

There are no pathognomonic clinical signs for tuberous sclerosis. Many signs are present in individuals who are healthy (although rarely), or who have another disease. A combination of signs, classified as major or minor, is required in order to establish a clinical diagnosis.

Diagnostic Criteria

Diagnosis is made according to the following criteria:

  • Definite – Either two major features or one major feature plus two minor features.
  • Probable – One major plus one minor feature.
  • Suspect – Either one major feature or two or more minor features.

Major Features Minor Features
Hypomelanotic macules (> or more at least 5mm diameter) "Conferri" skin lesions
Angiofibromas (>3 or more) or fibrous cephalic plaque Dental enamel pits (>3)
Ungual fibromas (>2 or more) Intraoral fibromas (>2 or more)
Shagreen patch Retinal achromic patch
Multiple retinal hamartomas Multiple renal cysts
Cortical dysplasias** Nonrenal hamartomas
Subependymal nodules
Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma
Cardiac rhabdomyoma
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis*
Angiomyolipomas (>2 or more)
  • * A combination of the two major clinical features (lymphangioleiomyomatosis and angiomyolipomas) without other features does not meet criteria for a definite diagnosis.
  • **includes tubers and cerebral white matter radial migration lines.
