[A study of 14 cases of Bourneville's tuberous sclerosis, including two pathological reports and seven cases investigated by computer tomography (author's transl)].
The authors studied 9 girls and 5 boys, with ages ranging from 9 months to 26 years, suffering from Bournevilles tuberous sclerosis, for an average period of 7 years. The various types of epileptic attacks and their progression were studied as well as the degree of mental retardation. Only two of the children had a normal IQ. The accepted value of computer tomography examinations in this disease is confirmed. Pathological examinations were conducted in two cases, one complete (autopsy) and one partially only (histological examination of a paraventricular tumor removed by operation).
