Abstract
Here we represent case of tuberous sclerosis with ADHD in two siblings aged 7 female and aged 5 male. They presented with seizures of two years duration and one month duration both showing features of ADHD and elder showing signs of mental retardation along with cutaneous manifestations and were diagnosed on basis of typical MRI and CT findings along with clinical features. Elder sister was already on Levitracetam but seizures were not controlled. Both the children were put on sodium valproate and seizures were controlled. They were also put on atomoxetine and their behavior improved to some extent. They are under follow up. Rapamycin the recently recommended drug, was neither available nor affordable by parents. Parents were offered genetic counseling and were explained prognosis and long-term management.
