Neuroimaging
assessment in Down syndrome: a pictorial review. Axial CT of a 46-year-old Down syndrome patient with basal ganglia calcifications, mainly involving the globus pallidus
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
- 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)
