mTOR Inhibitor Therapy
Disease-modifying therapy targeting the mTOR pathway to reduce tumor burden and prevent disease progression across multiple organ systems affected by this tuberous sclerosis variant.
Multidisciplinary Surveillance Protocol
Coordinated monitoring across neurology, nephrology, dermatology, and ophthalmology specialties to detect and address multi-system involvement through regular scheduled assessments.
Additional treatment options
Resective Brain Surgery
Surgical removal of epileptogenic cortical tubers or subependymal giant cell astrocytomas causing intractable seizures or mass effect symptoms unresponsive to medical therapy.
surgicalLaser Interstitial Thermal Therapy
Minimally invasive MRI-guided laser ablation of brain lesions causing seizures, offering an alternative to open craniotomy with reduced recovery time and fewer complications.
procedureRehabilitative Physical Therapy
