Abstract
Background: Tuberous sclerosis is an autosomal dominant neurocutaneous disorder leading to highly variable clinical presentation. These patients pose a challenge to anaesthesiologists due to multisystem involvement.Case presentation: We report the successful anaesthetic management of a young female with tuberous sclerosis who underwent laparoscopic myomectomy with cystectomy under general anaesthesia laparoscopic myomectomy.Conclusions: Anaesthetic management of tuberous sclerosis depends upon the extent and severity of the involvement of various organs. Careful assessment, thorough evaluation, and preoperative planning are crucial for dealing with the difficulties and complications encountered during the management of these cases.
