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...
