Abstract
Background:
Sirolimus constitutes a safe and effective treatment for cardiac manifestations of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) in children but only four cases describing prenatal treatment of rhabdomyomas with mTOR inhibitors have been published.
Case:
In this case, sirolimus was initiated at 26 weeks´ gestation in a pregnant woman with TSC with a fetus with a large rabdomyoma conditioning severe arrythmia. There was a significant reduction in the tumor size with ongoing treatment and a partial reversion of the arrythmia.
Conclusion:
m-TOR inhibitors can be considered for severe cases of fetal rhabdomyomas with poor prognosis given its potencial benefits.
