- Abstract:
- We report on a 9-year-old boy who developed subependymal giant-cell astrocytoma associated with tuberous sclerosis. Apart from a few hypopigmented skin patches, the boy's clinical picture was completely unremarkable until the onset of diplopia and vertigo reflecting increased intracranial pressure. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed subcortical hamartomas in addition to the intraventricular tumour. Seizures and mental retardation were absent. The boy's mother had suffered from seizures during childhood and presented with typical skin lesions. The importance of thorough examination and regular follow-up even in patients with oligosymptomatic variants of tuberous sclerosis is emphasized.
