Tuberous sclerosis is an hereditary disease characterized by disseminated hamartomas involving the central nervous system, skin, kidney and eye. Astrocytic hamartomas are typical retinal lesions.We report a case of a child affected by tuberous sclerosis in which spectralis optical coherence tomography (OCT) provided highresolution images of astrocytic hamartomas. Astrocytic hamartomas are typical retinal lesions in tuberous sclerosis [1] and may be multifocal and bilateral.

Abstract
Tuberous sclerosis is an hereditary disease characterized by disseminated hamartomas involving the central nervous system, skin, kidney and eye. Astrocytic hamartomas are typical retinal lesions.We report a case of a child affected by tuberous sclerosis in which spectralis optical coherence tomography (OCT) provided highresolution images of astrocytic hamartomas. Astrocytic hamartomas are typical retinal lesions in tuberous sclerosis [1] and may be multifocal and bilateral.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
