In a group of 3,800 computed tomography examinations, 14 patients (0.4%) were found to have high attenuating lesions suggesting calcifications within the basal ganglia. The lesions were bilateral in all patients. A majority of the patients had psychic symptoms and convulsions. Electroencephalographic changes were frequent and extrapyramidal symptoms occurred. Until now only three patients have been endocrinologically examined. One of them had hypoparathyroidism. Since parathyroid dysfunction frequently is associated with calcifications of the basal ganglia, these patients should be referred for endocrinological evaluation.
在一组3800例计算机断层扫描检查中，发现14例患者（0.4%）有高密度病变，提示基底节区有钙化。所有患者的病变均为双侧性。大多数患者有精神症状和惊厥。脑电图改变很常见，且出现锥体外系症状。到目前为止，仅有3例患者接受了内分泌检查。其中1例患有甲状旁腺功能减退症。由于甲状旁腺功能障碍常与基底节区钙化相关，这些患者应转诊进行内分泌评估。
