The brain is seen in horizontal (axial) section,with the front of the brain at top. The brain's fluid-filled ventricles are dark blue. Part of the brain has become calci- fied (orange,lower left). Other symptoms include angioma tumours in the choroid of the eye and the meninges membranes that cover the brain,as well as port-wine nevi on the face and glaucoma of the eye. People with this congenital disorder are mentally handicapped and may suffer from epileptic seizures. MRI uses radio waves and a powerful magnet to produce slice images of the body | |
