A 23-year-old woman with tuberous sclerosis complex and subependymal giant cell astrocytomas. Axial fluid-attenuation inversion-recovery image (A) shows heterogeneous hyperintense masses (subependymal giant cell astrocytomas) located at the frontal horn of the lateral ventricles, near the foramen of Monro (white arrows). Axial contrast-enhanced T1-weighted image (B) shows strong and heterogeneous enhancement of the lesions (white arrows). Note also cortical tubers (black arrows), and subependymal nodule along the right lateral ventricular surface (arrowheads), best depicted on fluid-attenuation inversion-recovery image.
