Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) is a characteristic brain tumour that occurs in 10%-20% of patients with tuberous sclerosis complex and is almost exclusively associated with tuberous sclerosis complex. Objective: Demonstrate the role of radiological imaging (CT scan and MRI) in determining the diagnosis and as a reference for determining subsequent therapy in patients with seizures et causa tuberous sclerosis. Case: This case report describes a 22-year-old female patient with a main symptom of frequent headaches since the last 2 months and decreased vision and fogginess in both eyes. The patient has a history of seizures from the age of 4 years to the age of 11 years. Discussion: Four major signs of TSK were found: facial angiofibroma, tuberous sclerosis, subependymal nodule, and subependymal giant cell astrocytoma. Conclusion:  The role of radiological imaging, both CT scan and MRI in the early diagnosis of patients with TSK is very important.
