| Sumario: | Imaging of tuberous sclerosis complex has rapidly evolved over the last decade in association with increased understanding of the disease process and new treatment modalities. Tuberous sclerosis complex is best known for the neurological symptoms and the associated neuroimaging findings, and children with tuberous sclerosis complex require active surveillance of associated abnormalities in the chest, abdomen and pelvis. Common findings that require regular imaging surveillance are angiomyolipomas in the kidneys and lymphangioleiomyomatosis in the chest. However multiple rarer associations have been attributed to tuberous sclerosis complex and should be considered by radiologists reviewing any imaging in these children. In this review the authors discuss the spectrum of imaging findings in people with tuberous sclerosis complex, focusing on MR imaging findings in the chest, abdomen and pelvis.
