How should patients with tuberous sclerosis complex be treated?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the causes of tuberous sclerosis are: congenital factors (frightening in the womb, lack of Yuan Yin), blood stagnation and convulsions, which are the main causes of the disease. Because the human nerve tissue is spread throughout the body, the patient has nodules or tumors in different organs.

The biological behavior of this tumor is benign and insensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, so chemoradiotherapy is not used.

The use of "elimination of knots and three soups" **** tuberous sclerosis. It is mainly the use of traditional Chinese medicine to invigorate blood circulation and dispel blood stasis, which can improve the whole blood microcirculation and improve the oxygen and blood supply to the brain.

Tuberous sclerosis complex is a hereditary disease, which currently lacks specificity and has a relatively poor clinical prognosis.

For example, if a patient has a seizure, the appropriate anti-epileptic drug can be selected according to the specific situation of the patient**. If the drug does not respond to epilepsy, surgery can be used. If there is some tumor in the skull that causes hydrocephalus, surgery can also be considered.

This disease affects the nervous system and causes cognitive dysfunction, psychiatric symptoms, seizures, and can also affect the appearance of **damage**, and can also lead to the appearance of tumors in multiple sites.

Tuberous sclerosis complex is an autosomal dominant neurological syndrome, which is a multi-organ, multi-system damaged disease. It can affect several organs such as the nervous system,**, eyes, peripheral nerves, kidneys, and more. It mainly manifests as seizures, sebaceous tumors of the face, and mental retardation.

At present, there is no obvious method for tuberous sclerosis, and symptomatic treatment is generally carried out, mainly anti-epileptic, early control of epileptic seizures, which helps secondary epileptic encephalopathy and cognitive and behavioral impairment, therefore, the sooner you start to carry out **, the better. Others** include reduction of intracranial pressure, obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid circulation, surgery **, and cosmetic treatment of sebaceous tumors on the face**.

1. Selection method according to the involved site: in the case of epilepsy, anti-epileptic drugs are the mainstay, infantile spasms, and the first choice is amohexenic acid;

2. Choose drugs according to the type of seizure: carbamazepine can be selected for partial seizures;

3. For **Conduct**: Everolimus and sirolimus are M-TOR inhibitors, which can inhibit tumor growth in vivo, including intracranial SEGA, renal renal vessels;

4. **Change: If the face is more severe, M-TOR inhibitors can be used.

Tuberous sclerosis complex needs to be followed by an early onset of sclerosis complex, which can be controlled with drugs such as the target protein of rapamycin. If tuberous sclerosis complex causes frequent seizures in your child, you need to give your child an anti-epileptic treatment as soon as possible**. If renal angiomyolipoma occurs, surgery can be performed in case of exceedance**.
