Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma in a genetically negative tuberous sclerosis complex adult: Case report
Subependymal Giant Cell Astrocytoma (SEGA) is classically recognized in the setting of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). It has been described in children and adults, more commonly in the 1st and 2nd decades of life, with or rarely, without identifiable clinical presentations of tuberous sclerosis [1 –3]. Patients can also present with cortical tubers and subependymal nodules. These are most commonly supratentorial, and vary in size and number [4].
