  • Title: [Oligosymptomatic variant of tuberous sclerosis with subependymal giant cell astrocytoma].
    Author: Rieger E, Binder B, Starz I, Oberbauer R, Urban C.
    Journal: Padiatr Padol; 1991; 26(1):35-7. PubMed ID: 2057209.
    Abstract:
    We report on a 9-year-old boy who developed subependymal giant-cell astrocytoma associated with tuberous sclerosis. Remarkably, the boy was not mentally retarded and never had suffered from seizures. Apart from white skin patches symptoms of increased intracranial pressure were the presenting symptoms. The boy's mother, who was present at the boy's admission, presented with skin lesions typical of tuberous sclerosis. The importance of thorough examination of apparently asymptomatic relatives of patients with tuberous sclerosis is emphasized.
