Hemimegalencephaly and tuberous sclerosis complex: A rare yet challenging association.
European Journal of Paediatric Neurology : EJPN 2021 January
Hemimegalencephaly is a rare malformation of cortical development characterised by enlargement of one cerebral hemisphere. The association between hemimegalencephaly and tuberous sclerosis complex, an autosomal dominant genetic disorder, is uncommon and has so far been reported only in a few cases. Intractable epilepsy and severe developmental delay are typical clinical manifestations. Aberrant activation of the mTOR signalling pathway is considered to be the hallmark of the pathogenesis of these two disorders. Thus, mTOR inhibitors such as everolimus represent a promising therapeutic approach to mTOR-associated manifestations. We present a thorough literature review of the association between hemimegaloencephaly and tuberous sclerosis complex.
