in a 14-year-old with seizures,
0:06
with known tuberous sclerosis complex.
0:09
We can see on T2-weighted imaging,
0:11
we can see several subependymal nodules.
0:13
Along the lateral margin of the body
0:15
of both lateral ventricles.
0:18
And if we look at susceptibility-weighted imaging,
0:22
we can see these are hypointense
0:25
on susceptibility-weighted imaging,
0:27
representing mineralization.
0:30
A CT scan can confirm these
0:34
areas of calcification.
0:36
Now, notice in the right frontal lobe,
0:41
in the anterior aspect of the
0:42
right middle frontal gyrus,
0:43
there's a juxtaportical curvilinear area of
0:46
mineralization at the depth of this sulcus.
0:49
That represents,
0:51
we can see this here on T2-weighted imaging,
0:55
we can see this bottom of the
0:57
sulcus dysplasia with.
1:00
This hypointense area representing the
1:02
mineralization and this area of
1:04
signal abnormality around it.
1:07
So this is a patient with tuberous sclerosis
1:10
complex with a mineralized area of dysplasia.
1:14
Now, additionally, though,
1:17
if you look at the CT scan, look posteriorly,
1:20
you can see there's skin thickening and
1:25
in addition to the skin thickening,
1:27
we can see on MR.
1:29
There is bony sclerosis.
1:33
Skin thickening is a known dermatologic
1:35
manifestation of tuberous sclerosis complex.
1:40
Areas of bony sclerosis,
1:42
which can look more amorphous
1:46
and large like these,
1:47
or can look simply more like
1:49
boneless or anastomosis,
1:51
are very common in tuberous sclerosis complex.
1:54
They can be mistaken for other entities.
1:56
If you're not familiar that tuberous
1:59
sclerosis complex can.
2:00
And have these bony sclerotic areas.
2:04
So this patient has tuberous sclerosis complex
2:08
with calcified subependymal nodules,
2:10
a mineralized area of dysplasia in the right
2:13
frontal lobe and also right parietal occipital
2:18
scalp thickening and multiple
2:20
areas of bony sclerosis.
