Fig. 8From: Brain stones revisited—between a rock and a hard placeAn 8-year-old male with a long complicated medical history was found to have hard-to-miss calcifications on the plain skull x-ray (a, d). The NCECT (b, e) and 3D reconstructions (c, f) show a large amorphous calcification originating from the basal ganglia, extending into the right lateral ventricle of the patient diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis. Subependymal nodules associated with tuberous sclerosis can calcify with age, typically presenting with globular or sometimes ring-like calcificationBack to article page
