Basal ganglia calcification was found as an incidental finding in 42 out of 7000 patients who underwent computed tomography. The calcification showed on plain skull radiography when the maximum density on computed tomography exceeded 100 Hounsfield units. The 26 patients with basal ganglia calcification detected on computed tomography who were available for follow-up, were investigated with matched controls. No clinical features of basal ganglia calcification were noted. Twenty-four patients had no significant metabolic abnormality and two patients had parathyroid disorder identified.
在7000例接受计算机断层扫描的患者中,有42例偶然发现基底节钙化。当计算机断层扫描的最大密度超过100亨氏单位时,在普通颅骨X线片上可显示钙化。对计算机断层扫描发现基底节钙化且可供随访的26例患者与匹配的对照组进行了研究。未发现基底节钙化的临床特征。24例患者无明显代谢异常,2例患者被确诊为甲状旁腺疾病。
