Abstract

We report a 2-month old newborn with a family history of adenoma sebaceum, achromic spots and renal lithiasis. Echocardiography-magnetic resonance imaging showed a solitary pediculated rhabdomyoma in the left ventricular outlet tract causing a severe systolic aortic valve obstruction. Surgical excision was carried out through the aortic valve with no valvular lesions. The patient presented multiple seizures 24 hours after surgery with good response to medical therapy. Ten days later, computed tomography showed a spot lesion in the subependimary area in the posterior position of the parietal horn, compatible with a hamartoma associated with tuberous sclerosis.
