One of the most common manifestations of tuberous sclerosis is: A- renal osteodystrophy B- liver hemangioma C- spinal cord lipomatosis D- renal angiomyolipomas
D- renal angiomyolipomas
One of the following is a major diagnostic criterion for tuberous sclerosis?: A- bilateral symmetrical basal ganglia calcifications B- cerebellar tonsillar hypoplasia C- subependymal nodules D- germinal matrix calcifications
C - subependymal nodules.
One of the most common white matter abnormalities that are thought to be relatively specific for tuberous sclerosis are: A- cortical tubers B- radial bands C- mesial temporal sclerosis D- corpus callosum agenesis
B- radial bands
Cortical/subcortical tubers: displaying high T2W/FLAIR and low T1W signals.
Subependymal hamartomas with variable signal intensities in T1W, T2W and FLAIR.
White matter abnormalities in the form of:
- two small cystic lesions seen at the right frontal and left posterior parietal regions ranging up 1 cm
- radial bands (thought to be relatively specific for TS): very characteristic linear bands most appreciated on the T2W seen radiating from the periventricular white matter (just posterior to the bodies of both lateral ventricles) to the subcortical region
