Tuberous sclerosis is an autosomal dominant hereditary condition with many varied forms of clinical presentation. The most frequent cutaneous findings in tuberous sclerosis include multiple angiofibromas, hypopigmented macules, periungual fibromas and shagreen patch. It is characterized by the development of hamartomatous growths in many organs. We present a case of tuberous sclerosis with a giant left internal carotid artery aneurysm causing pulsatile proptosis, left sided ptosis, anisocoria and papillary mydriasis indicative of left third cranial nerve palsy.
