Abstract:
Tuberous sclerosis is a rare, autosomal dominant neurocutaneous disease. The disease can also result from spontaneous mutations. Manifestations of this disease are typically characterized by involvement of the CNS (early childhood seizures, multiple brain tumours), skin (facial angiofibromas, Pringle's birthmarks), kidneys and liver (angiomyolipomas), heart and others. We present a case of 26 years old patient with brain tumour, with clinical and radiological signs of hydrocephalus due to a cystic lesion in the III ventricle. The patient was operated upon using neuroendoscopy, with clinical and radiological improvement.
