摘要: PURPOSE To evaluate the utility and possible increased sensitivity of fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images for detection tubers in patients with tuberous sclerosis, compared standard T2-weighted images, to whether are correlated neurologic symptoms. METHOD We examined number, size, location five sclerosis using FLAIR images. Their intelligence quotients, ages at onset first seizure, seizure types, epileptic severity also were studied retrospectively. RESULTS The number observed ranged from 4 17 on 10 33 All tubers, other than myelination line remarkably demonstrated as high-intensity lesions No correlation was found between outcome or CONCLUSION very sensitive especially small subcortical ones, which not related
