Calvarial Thickening in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex
Patients with TSC have skull thickening, which is often linked to intracerebral calcification. The presence of skull thickening may require modification of surgical approach during craniotomy. Skull thickening and the underlying intracerebral calcification likely share a common precipitating factor given their relationship. Future studies are warranted to clarify the genetic underpinnings of this relationship and even broader skeletal abnormalities in TSC.
