[Usefulness of cerebral computed axial tomography in the early diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis]. 1986

J Jordán, and C Rodríguez, and P Ortiz, and A Pérez Higueras, and I Pascual-Castroviejo

Authors describe twelve children with diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis (TS) within the first year. All children had seizures, being infantile spasms in 7 cases (58%). All but one showed severe mental retardation. Hypopigmented patches in 2 (16.6%) and retinal phakoma in one case (8.3%). Skull Rx were normal in all cases, while the CT showed early intracranial calcifications in the 100% of the patients and areas of hypodensity in the 50%. The CT is the most useful test for the early diagnosis of TS when the clinical diagnosis has not been firmly established.

D014402 Tuberous Sclerosis Autosomal dominant neurocutaneous syndrome classically characterized by MENTAL RETARDATION; EPILEPSY; and skin lesions (e.g., adenoma sebaceum and hypomelanotic macules). There is, however, considerable heterogeneity in the neurologic manifestations. It is also associated with cortical tuber and HAMARTOMAS formation throughout the body, especially the heart, kidneys, and eyes. Mutations in two loci TSC1 and TSC2 that encode hamartin and tuberin, respectively, are associated with the disease.
