PG - e190091 LID - 10.1148/rycan.2020190091 [doi] LID - e190091 AB - PURPOSE: To determine the effect of chronic mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibition on skeletal muscle mass in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective study, patients with TSC who were taking mTOR inhibitors and who underwent at least two abdominal CT or MRI examinations between 2005 and 2017 were included (n = 24; 14 males; mean age, 14.5 years +/- 7.8 [standard deviation] at first examination). One reviewer drew regions of interest around psoas muscles at L3 to measure cross-sectional area. Multiple linear mixed-effect modeling was performed to evaluate the association between muscle mass and the covariates over time. RESULTS: The 24 patients underwent a total of 129 abdominal CT or MRI examinations. Median duration of mTOR inhibition at last examination was 106 months (range, 1310-3717 days). There was no significant association between the duration of mTOR inhibitor therapy and psoas muscle area on multiple linear mixed-effect modeling (P = .055); however, patient height and height squared were significant predictors of psoas area (P = .014 and P < .0001, respectively). CONCLUSION: Duration of mTOR inhibition in TSC was not significantly associated with a decrease in psoas muscle area, suggesting that chronic mTOR inhibition is not associated with sarcopenia.Keywords: CT, MR-Imaging, Pediatrics(c) RSNA, 2020.
