International TSC Consensus Guidelines

Peer-Reviewed, Published TSC Clinical Consensus Articles

In July 2021, the International TSC Diagnostic Criteria and Surveillance and Management Recommendations were updated to reflect advances in knowledge and approval of new therapies. In addition, TSCi published a companion piece that examines the state of TSC care around the world, identifies gaps in TSC care and makes recommendations for how TSC organizations and key stakeholders can work together to overcome barriers in TSC care. You can access both publications below.
