Tuberous Sclerosis Complex: the role of neuroradiology

Neuropediatrics. 1997 Oct;28(5):244-52. doi: 10.1055/s-2007-973708.

Abstract

Tuberous Sclerosis Complex is the second commonest phakomatosis affecting between 1 in 70,00-10,000 live births. It is a multisystem disorder but neurological disturbances are often the presenting feature and cause major morbidity/mortality. In this paper the neuroradiological and clinical features are reviewed, focusing on a rational approach to imaging children with tuberous Sclerosis Complex.
