Numerous cortical tubers and rhabdomyomas in a case of sudden unexpected infant death

Sudden infant death syndrome is the leading cause of death in infants between the ages of 1 month to 1 year. Sudden infant death syndrome, a diagnosis of exclusion, can only be made after other explanations for unexpected death have been ruled out. Tuberous sclerosis complex is occasionally the findings in these patients with unexpected infant death. Here, we present a case of an unexpected infant death during sleep with multiple factors that confound the cause of death. We discuss these factors and attempt to delineate their contributions to arrive at a cause and mechanism of death.
