    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Neurofibromatosis, tuberous sclerosis, and Sturge-Weber disease are rare genetic disorders with significant neurological and dermatological manifestations.
    • Computed Tomography (CT) plays a crucial role in diagnosing and monitoring these conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present and illustrate the characteristic CT findings in a series of patients with neurofibromatosis, tuberous sclerosis, and Sturge-Weber disease.
    • To compare the observed CT findings with previously published literature.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of CT scans from 77 neurofibromatosis cases, 34 tuberous sclerosis cases, and 16 Sturge-Weber disease cases.
    • Extensive illustration of key imaging findings.
    • Literature review and comparative analysis.

    Main Results:

    • Detailed description of CT findings specific to each of the three diseases.
    • Visual documentation of the spectrum of disease presentation on CT.
    • Identification of common and distinguishing imaging features across the conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • CT imaging provides valuable diagnostic information for neurofibromatosis, tuberous sclerosis, and Sturge-Weber disease.
    • The presented findings align with and expand upon existing radiological knowledge of these genetic disorders.
