Obsessive compulsive disorder in a patient with tuberous sclerosis and subependymal giant cell astrocytoma
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a multi-system disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance, which can affect the brain, heart, skin, kidneys, lungs, and retina. We present an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient, with classic dermatological findings and subependymal giant cell astrocytoma in TSC.

This rare autosomal dominant disorder was also detected in family members of the patients who had never had any symptoms of cerebral involvement. Both patients underwent surgery because of signs of increased intracranial pressure.

The aim of this study was to determine whether they could be diVerentiated during childhood and at an early preclinical stage, from subependymal nodules without any growing potential. Methods—The first two MRIs of all children referred t...
متن کاملRegression of subependymal giant cell astrocytoma with rapamycin in tuberous sclerosis complex.
The authors present a 21-year-old woman who has been receiving rapamycin for 5 months for bilateral subependymal giant cell astrocytomas. The patient was started at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg/day. Levels were maintained between 11 and 13 ng/mL. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain 2(1/2) months after initiating rapamycin demonstrated a decrease in size of both astrocytomas (11 to 7.5 mm on the righ...
