    Author: Guerreiro MM, Facure NO, Guerreiro CA.
    Journal: Arq Neuropsiquiatr; 1989 Jun; 47(2):153-8. PubMed ID: 2597007.
    Abstract:
    The authors present the analysis of 27 computed tomography scans (CT) of 18 children which were divided in three groups according to clinical and tomographic criteria. Group 1 was characterized mainly by epilepsy and calcifications. Group 2 was characterized by intracranial hypertension and several tomographic aspects: edema, cysts and nodules were seen in three patients; hydrocephaly and calcifications were seen in two patients and CT was normal in one patient. Group 3 had patients with epilepsy or headache and variable tomographic patterns. The results are discussed based on the available literature.
