Subependymal Giant Cell Astrocytoma in Tuberous Sclerosis

Abstract

Subependymal giant cell astrocytomas are histologically benign but they can causemalign symptoms and death due to their locations. Early diagnosis and treatment could reduce risk of recurrence, mortality and morbidity. Following of the tuberous sclerosis patients with neuroimaging methods-could help to identify subependymal giant cell astrocytomas. In this study, three tuberous sclerosis patients with subependymal giant cell astrocytoma were presented.
