Karen Letourneau, Presenter: Nothing to Disclose

1) Identify the role of diagnostic imaging in the diagnosis and treatment in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). 2) Recognize the limitations of various modalities in the diagnosis of specific pathologies. 3) Compare the utility and efficacy of CT, MR, ultrasound and plain films in identification of the common pathologic conditions associated with TSC. 4) Gain understanding of the patient’s and the family perspective in diagnostic imaging departments.

ABSTRACT We present a case report of a patient with all the typical lesions of tuberous sclerosis complex(TSC); renal angiomyolipoma, renal cysts, cardiac rhabdomyoma cortical tubers and subependymal nodules. Our case also demonstrates atypical findings in TSC; abdominal aortic aneurysm and renal cell carcinoma. A brief overview of the disease will be presented however, we have limited the majority of the discussion to the aspects of this disease in which diagnostic imaging, i.e.; CT, MR, ultrasound and plain films plays a vital role in the diagnosis and treatment planning of this complex disease.
