Tuberous sclerosis 

key findings in the brain

Cortical hamartomas

Subependymal tubers

Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma

White matter abnormalities

Tuberous sclerosis or Bourneville's disease is an inherited condition characterized by the presence of hamartomas in many organs including angiomyolipoma of the kidney, cardiac rhabdomyoma and cortical and subependymal tubers in the brain.  Some patients have lymphangioleiomatosis, a cystic lung disease seen in women.  The classic clinical triad is focal epilepsy, adenoma sebaceum and mental retardation (mnemonic: fits, zits and nitwits).  The cortical hamartomas are called tubers and are similar to cortical dysplasia.  Subependymal nodules are small lesions protruding into the lateral ventricles. Sometimes they are calcified.
