A 29-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a 7-day history of elevated temperature to 39.5 degrees C associated with headache and nausea. She had been diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex 10 years earlier. Her unconsciousness progressed, and she was diagnosed as having aseptic
Tuberous sclerosis complex is an autosomal dominant disorder affecting primarily the central nervous system, skin, and kidney caused by mutations in the TSC1 and TSC2 genes. Diagnosis is established with the identification of various neurocutaneous symptoms and multiple organ system hamartomas. The
BACKGROUND
Lhermitte-Duclos disease is a rare disorder of the cerebellum of unknown origin in which dysplasic thickening of the cerebellar convolutions is seen. It usually occurs in young adults. Currently it is included in the phacomatosis group of disorders.
METHODS
A 19 year old woman attended
BACKGROUND
The well-described entity of Subependymal Giant Cell Astrocytoma (SEGA) in the setting of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is profound in current literature. It has been described in children as well as adults with or without identifiable clinical presentations of tuberous sclerosis. To
The tuberous sclerosis complex is a rare disease, with autosomal dominant transmission, with multisystemic involvement including ophthalmologic. Retinal hamartomas and retinal achromic patch are the most frequent ocular findings. Other ophthalmic signs and symptoms are relatively rare in this
It is well known that intraventricular tumors are occasionally seen in patients with tuberous sclerosis. We have experienced two cases of tuberous sclerosis with intraventricular tumor. Case 1: an 8-year-old girl was admitted to our clinic because of headache and vomiting of one month's duration.
The clinical, neuroradiologic, and pathologic features of an unusual retinal and cerebral giant cell astrocytoma in a 24-year-old man with tuberous sclerosis are reported. The patient was referred at 3 years of age because of partial seizures from the first months of life, severe mental retardation,
This 17-year-old male patient with tuberous sclerosis developed increased headaches and lethargy. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed increased ventricle size and increased size of a subependymal giant cell astrocytoma at the foramen of Monro, as well as spinal cord metastases of giant
A 5-year-old girl with progressive hemiparesis and headache was found by brain imaging to have a large tumor centered at the foramen of Monro, blocking cerebrospinal outflow and producing massive lateral ventriculomegaly. Total excision of the mass led to a pathologic diagnosis of giant cell
The authors report the case of a 14-year-old male with a subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) that occurred in the absence of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). The patient presented with progressive headache and the sudden onset of nausea and vomiting. Neuroimaging revealed an enhancing left
We presented a case of tuberous sclerosis (TS) associated with subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGC) and renal angiomyolipoma (RAML). A 19-year-old female, who had been diagnosed as TS since she was 3 months old, was admitted with complaints of headache, vomiting, and abdominal pain. At 10
BACKGROUND
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an uncommon multiple systems disorder. The main characteristics of the disease in the central nervous system include cortical or subcortical tubers, subependymal nodules, and subependymal giant cell astrocytoma. However, progressive cystic lesions in
The authors report a rare case of tuberous sclerosis associated with pineal region mixed glioma. A 38-year-old woman with tuberous sclerosis, who had a past history of left nephrectomy and tumorectomy of the right kidney for bilateral renal angiomyolipomas, was admitted because of headache and
Brain tumors associated with tuberous sclerosis are often found in the wall of the ventricles near the foramen of Monro and present with symptoms of increased intracranial pressure due to occlusion of the CSF pathway. The authors reported a case of such a brain tumor which presented predominantly
