Tuberous sclerosis complex: Concerns and needs of patients and parents from the transitional period to adulthood

Conclusion The current study provides patient-driven information, allowing recommendations to facilitate the (transition of) care for young adults with TSC. In addition to seizures, tumor growth, and TSC-associated neuropsychiatric disorders (TAND), more attention is needed for concerns and care needs specific to the transitional period, participation, and environmental factors. Adult healthcare providers should offer expert multidisciplinary care for adult patients with TSC, including attention for parental stress.
