Abstract
Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms in toddlers are extremely rare. However, we experienced an extent III thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm in a boy with tuberous sclerosis who underwent 3 open repairs and 1 endovascular aortic repair between the ages of 4 years and 18 years. This case highlights the potential for severe recurrent vascular aneurysms in the thoracic and abdominal aorta as a complication of tuberous sclerosis in children. Although aortic aneurysms in children are rare, it is vital to recognize these cases to prevent death due to rupture.
