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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
