Meanings of cortical tubers in English

Results: All patients exhibited multiple bilateral cortical tubers on brain magnetic resonance imaging.

Radiological studies demonstrated the typical cortical tubers leading to the diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis.

MRI showed many cortical tubers and subependymal nodules.

Most patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) develop cortical tubers that cause severe neurological disabilities.

Tuberous sclerosis is associated with hamartomas and cortical tubers, consisting of both glial and neuronal cellular components.

Conclusion: DTI is a useful tool for demonstrating changes in cortical tubers and white-matter lesions resulting from TS.

Here, we report the characterization of aberrant microRNA activity in cortical tubers resected from 5 TSC patients surgically treated for medically intractable epilepsy.
