Abstract

A case of a 7 year-old boy with subependymal giant-cell astrocytoma is reported. CT scanning of this patient for 6 years showed the cystic growth of the astrocytoma. The surgical indication and importance of periodic CT studies for subependymal giant-cell astrocytomas associated with tuberous sclerosis are discussed. © 1992, Kurume University School of Medicine.
