Abstract

Bilateral, symmetric, calcium and other mineral deposits occur in basal ganglia, thalamus, cerebellum, and white matter off cerebral hemisphere are rare disorders. Hypoparathyroidism and Fahr’s disease (progressive idiopathic strio-pallidodentat calsinozis) are the most common two pathologies in etiology of bilateral calcifications. Extrapyramidal problems are the most commonly seen clinical finding in these patients. In this article in which neurological and psychiatric disorders in relation to calcifications were discussed, seizures and headache problems were more prominent in our patients

Özet

Bazal gangliyonlar, serebral hemisfer beyaz cevherinde ve serebellumun dentat nükleuslarında bilateral kalsifikasyonlar veya diğer minerallerin depolanması nadir bir hastalıktır. Hipoparatiroidizm ve idyopatik striopallido-dentat kalsinoz (Fahr hastalığı) patolojik intraserebral kalsifikasyonların en sık rastlanan iki sebebidir. Bu hastalarda hareket bozuklukları en sık rastlanan bulgudur. Kalsifikasyonlara eşlik eden nörolojik ve psikiyatrik bozukluklar tartışıldığı bu makalede, literatürden farklı olarak nöbetlerin ve başağrısı problemlerinin bizim hastalarımızda baskın olması dikkat çekiciydi
