The current potential of neuroradiology in the diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis. 1982

A Palmieri, and E De Vecchio, and R Pirolo, and D Gardeur, and A Ambrosio

Computed tomography has proved very valuable in the diagnosis of central nervous system changes in tuberous sclerosis. A full analysis of the CT findings in 34 cases is presented. Intracranial calcifications--periventricular, corticosubcortical, within the white substance or in the posterior cranial fossa--were the most frequent finding, followed by parenchymal hypodensities and tumors. Hydrocephalus and atrophy, focal or diffuse, were rare.

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.
