Ocular findings and sphenoid bone morphology in tuberous sclerosis.
The aim of the study was to focus on the correlation between the ocular findings and the morphology of the sphenoid bone supporting the optic nerve in patients with tuberous sclerosis. Ten patients participated in the investigation. The sphenoid bone morphology was analyzed from existing radiographs of the cranium. The results were compared to the individual ophthalmologic diagnosis. Changes in the midline osseous structure, the sella turcica and optic sulcus seem to be correlated with the severity of the ocular findings.
