Abstract

Basal ganglia calcification has been observed in autopsy material of 7% of children suffering from Down's Syndrome. The incidence of this finding in the general neurological population is approx. 0.3%. The present report is the first case of Down's Syndrome with basal ganglia calcification diagnosed in life by computed axial tomography. This case illustrates that dense basal ganglia calcification can exist with no signs or symptoms of a movement disorder.

摘要

在唐氏综合征患儿的尸检材料中，已观察到基底节钙化，其发生率为7%。这一发现在普通神经科人群中的发生率约为0.3%。本报告是首例通过计算机断层扫描在生前诊断出患有基底节钙化的唐氏综合征病例。该病例表明，基底节致密钙化可以存在而无运动障碍的体征或症状。
