Özet

In this report, we present the MRI findings of an infant who has infantile spasm and facial angiofibroma, and his asymptomatic father with brain manifestations of tuberous sclerosis. Cortical tubers and calcified subependymal nodules were detected in both of the patients. On father's MRI examination, one of the subependymal nodules, localizing near the right foramen of Monro enhanced after contrast injection, similar to a subependymal giant cell astrocytoma.
