Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder caused by mutations in TSC1 or TSC2 genes, causing benign tumors to grow in multiple organs including the brain, kidneys, heart, lungs, and eyes. Ocular manifestations include retinal astrocytic hamartomas (present in about 50% of patients), which appear as white or yellow-white elevated lesions that may calcify over time. While usually benign, they require monitoring.
