Description

We investigated the relationship between the frequency of basal ganglia calcification appearing in CT scans and clinical symptoms in 3, 599 patients. Basal ganglia were calcified in eleven patients (0.3%), of whom seven had calcification of the bilateral G. Pallidus, but no clinical symptoms. A relationship between calcification and clinical symptoms was shown in two patients under ten years old, a three-year-old with young brain atrophy and a six-year-old with a gonadotropin-producing brain tumor. Especially in patients over forty years old, a direct relationship between G.P. calcification and clinical symptoms was not shown, and calcification was considered to be pyhsilogical.
