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 کاملBasal ganglia hemorrhage related to lightning strike.
We describe a case of bilateral basal ganglia hemorrhage after a lightning strike to the head documented by a CT scan. Review of the literature shows this to be the most common brain imaging finding that can be attributed to a lightning strike. Several mechanistic theories are discussed, with the most plausible one being related to preferential conduction pathways through the brain.
متن کاملThalamic contributions to Basal Ganglia-related behavioral switching and reinforcement.
Although the existence of prominent connections between the intralaminar thalamic nuclei and the basal ganglia has long been established, the limited knowledge of the functional relevance of this network has considerably hampered progress in our understanding of the neural mechanisms by which the thalamostriatal system integrates and regulates the basal ganglia circuitry. In this brief commenta...
متن کاملRadiographic basal ganglia abnormalities secondary to nonketotic hyperglycemia with unusual clinical features
A 77-year-old woman was admitted to a local clinic for altered consciousness and presented with a suspected basal ganglion hemorrhage detected on brain computed tomography. The patient was stuporous, but her vital signs were stable. Her initial blood glucose was 607 mg/dL, and a hyperdense lesion was found in the right basal ganglion on brain computed tomography. T1-weighted magnetic resonance ...
