The use of computerized transaxial tomography in the diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis.
Computerized transaxial tomography is a useful test for the recognition of tuberous sclerosis when this diagnosis has not been firmly established by clinical methods. In addition, computerized transaxial tomography may demonstrate the location of obstruction in patients with tuberous sclerosis who have developed signs of increased intracranial presure. These generalizations are supported by evidence from four patients investigated by this test.
