Brain MRI of subependymal giant cell tumor in tuberous sclerosis complex
Preoperative brain MRI axial FLAIR sequence showing a subependymal giant cell tumor, also known as a subependymal giant cell astrocytoma, located near the left foramen of Monro. There is minimal enlargement of the ipsilateral ventricle despite markedly increased intracranial pressure evident at surgery.
MRI: magnetic resonance imaging; FLAIR: fluid attenuated inversion recovery.
