Abstract:
Tuberous sclerosis is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the presence of hamartomatous lesion in tissues derived form all three germinal layers. Abdominal aortic aneurysms and rib changes are very rare in tuberous sclerosis. We report the unusual CT features of thoracic aortic aneurysm and sclerosis of ribs in a patient with tuberous sclerosis.
