Neuroimaging correlation with neurological severity in tuberous sclerosis complex
چکیده انگلیسی

ObjectiveTo delineate the relationship between neurological severity and neuroimage of lesion load including specific topography of supratentorial cortical tubers and white matter lesions in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).MethodsTwenty-five TSC patients more than 2 years of age who underwent conventional and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequence (FLAIR) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were retrospectively studied. Neurological severity score was designated for three items: seizure, developmental delay and/or mental retardation, and autism. A neuroimaging scoring system was designed to evaluate the load of the cerebrum lesions with respect to location and size of cortical tubers and white matter lesions based on FLAIR MRI.ResultsA linear trend was observed between MRI lesion score and neurological severity score (r=0.511; p=0.009). The lesion score in the left temporal lobe has positive correlation to neurological severity score (r=0.609; p=0.001).ConclusionsThe brain lesion load was positively correlated with neurological prognosis in TSC patients. Patients with larger lesion load in the left temporal lobe may be correlated with increased neurological severity in right-handed patients with TSC.
