Abstract
Tuberous sclerosis is a diffuse neurocutaneous syndrome with predominant involvement of the brain and kidneys. Angiomyolipoma are frequently found in the renal parenchyma but renal cysts are less common. We present an infant with multiple renal cysts and illustrate the rapid involvement of the cysts over the first 4 months of life.Keywords
