Pediatr Radiol. 1995;25(1):66-7. doi: 10.1007/BF02020855.

Abstract

We describe the CT and MR findings in a patient diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis after presenting with a hemorrhagic subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGCA). While these tumors are not uncommon in tuberous sclerosis, hemorrhage into them is extremely rare.
