About Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma associated with tuberous sclerosis.

Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) associated with tuberous sclerosis is a rare, slow-growing, low-grade central nervous system neoplasm that arises almost exclusively in individuals with tuberous sclerosis complex, most often presenting during childhood or adolescence.

Pathophysiologically driven by germline mutations in *TSC1* or *TSC2* that cause constitutive hyperactivation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling cascade, the tumor typically originates in the ventricular ependymal lining near the foramen of Monro.

Although histologically benign, progressive enlargement can obstruct cerebrospinal fluid pathways, leading to obstructive hydrocephalus, elevated intracranial pressure, and associated neurological complications such as headaches, worsening seizures, and visual disturbances.
