Basal ganglia calcification is common and is seen in approximately 1% of all CT scans of the brain, depending on the demographics of the scanned population. It is seen more frequently in older patients and is considered a normal incidental and idiopathic finding in an elderly patient but should be considered pathological in persons younger than the age of 40 years unless proved otherwise .

However, there are many causes of calcification:

idiopathic
- aging: common, globus pallidus most commonly affected
- Fahr disease
toxic
- carbon monoxide poisoning
- lead poisoning
- mineralizing microangiopathy
  - associated with radiation therapy and chemotherapy
- nephrotic syndrome
infectious
metabolic
- parathyroid disorders
- hypothyroidism
birth hypoxia
inherited
- mitochondrial diseases e.g. MELAS
- Cockayne syndrome
- pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) (also known as Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome)
- Down syndrome
- tuberous sclerosis
- methemoglobinopathy
- Sanjad Sakati syndrome
vascular
- developmental venous anomaly (unilateral)
