It is characterised by different skin manifestations involvement of central nervous system and hamartomas in different organs of the body .Of Course ,about 10% of cases are due to new mutations Presentation of this patient, a 4-month-old male infant with recurrent convulsions cflexor type infantile spasm and hypopigmented skin lesions, is important because T.S. is considered as a rare skin nervous disease (prevalence rate of 1 per 30/000 population). In the past 5 years , until now a similar case has not been reported in Hefdah-Shahriver Hospital of Rasht which is a referal Hospital in Guilan Province. Mean while, the onset of disease with infantile spasms lack of any history of familial marriages and also early appearance of calcification in brain C.T.
