Abstract

Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma is a very rare cerebral glioma and is known to be usually associated with tuberous sclerosis. We experienced a case of this tumor occurred at the wall of both lateral ventricles near the foramen of Monro in a patient of tuberous sclerosis who had symtoms and signs of hydrocephalus and other complex manifestations of facial adenoma sebaceum, huge fibroma on occipital scalp and hamartoma on the right retina. The masses were removed completely through transcallosal approach with microsurgical technique. The literatures are also reviewed.
