that is Tuberous Sclerosis A.K.A. Bournaville's Disease. 60-70% of the cases courses with mental retardation, so special education is needed.

 Agree. Choice D. Tuberous sclerosis. These patients mostly present with sebaceous lesions on the face. They get seizures and are mentally retarded. They also get cardiac rhabdomyomas, have retinal and can have renal problems.
