Overview
Common physical examination findings in patients with subependymal giant cell astrocytoma include hypomelanotic macules, retinal hamartomas, sensory deficits, and muscle weakness. Because subependymal giant cell astrocytoma is predominantly seen in people with tuberous sclerosis, the examination findings listed are those seen in tuberous sclerosis patients.
Physical Examination
