Bilateral basal ganglia calcifications visualised on CT scan.
Thirty-eight cases of basal ganglia calcification imaged on computed axial tomography were reviewed. Most cases were felt to represent senescent calcification. The possibility of a vascular aetiology in this group is discussed. A less common group of patients was identified with calcification secondary to abnormalities in calcium metabolism or radiation therapy. Three cases of basal ganglia cal...
متن کاملTranscranial sonography of basal ganglia calcifications in Fahr disease.
Fahr disease, also known as bilateral striopallidodentate calcinosis, is a rare degenerative neurologic disorder characterized by almost symmetric calcifications of the basal ganglia, the cerebellum dentate nuclei, the thalami, and the white matter of the cerebral hemispheres. Bilateral striopallidodentate calcinosis manifests as familial autosomal dominant but also as sporadic forms. Movement ...
متن کاملPhysiology of basal ganglia disorders: an overview.
The pathophysiology of the movement disorders arising from basal ganglia disorders has been uncertain, in part because of a lack of a good theory of how the basal ganglia contribute to normal voluntary movement. An hypothesis for basal ganglia function is proposed here based on recent advances in anatomy and physiology. Briefly, the model proposes that the purpose of the basal ganglia circuits ...
متن کاملThe Behavioural Neurology of Basal Ganglia Disorders
Basal ganglia disorders are common clinical conditions characterised by specific motor dysfunction and associated behavioral problems. The underlying pathophysiology primarily consists in alterations of the cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical pathways, which can be related to both neurodegenerative pathology (e.g. Parkinson disease, Huntington disease) and neurodevelopmental processes (e.g. Touret...
متن کاملBrain Stimulation for Basal Ganglia Disorders
The basal ganglia (BG) have long been considered a purely motor region of the brain. However, over the last couple of decades it has progressively become clear that BG are central components of different cortical-subcortical circuits, described on a basic level as ‘motor’, ‘oculomotor’, ‘associative’ and ‘limbic’, according to the function of the cortical regions involved [1]. In turn, each cir...
