Psychiatric disorders pose a significant burden to the quality of life of individuals with tuberous sclerosis complex and their care-givers. The relationship between the location and distribution of brain abnormalities in tuberous sclerosis complex and specific neuropsychiatric disorders is largely unknown. We present the first case in the literature of a child with tuberous sclerosis complex and anorexia nervosa and discuss the relevance of electroencephalography, magnetic resonance imaging, and neuropsychologic testing. To understand psychiatric disturbances in tuberous sclerosis complex, we must consider each of the following factors: cerebral pathology, seizure history, cognitive impairment, psychosocial stressors, and medications. (J Child Neurol 2005;20:457—460).
