Application of reconstruction computed tomography in a case of tuber cinereum hamartoma

A case of a 2-year-old girl with tuber cinereum hamartoma is evaluated by computed tomography (CT). Special reference is made to the application of CT image reconstruction, which has not yet been reported in the literature. The location, extent, shape and size of the mass lesion and also the anatomical relationship to adjacent structures are clearly demonstrated in sagittal and coronal CT images reconstructed from serial thin-section CT images in conjunction with target imaging and a review program.
