Abstract
- Since the ground-breaking work of Gomez in the 1970s and the later epidemiological studies of Webb and Osborne [1], the link between early onset epilepsy, especially infantile spasms (IS), and intellectual disability in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) has been accepted. This association raises the question of whether prevention of epilepsy in early life in TSC patients may improve the longer-term cognitive outcome.
