Abstract

Hypoparatyroidism can be associated with calcification of basal ganglia. Extensive intracerebral calcification extending into subcortical white matter, is however rarely seen in hypoparatyroidism. A 20-year-old female who presented with unexplained seizures underwent computerized tomography (CT) examination. CT showed extensive paranchymal calcification, which lead to a diagnosis of İatrogenic hypoparathyroidism. The radiological findings and differential diagnosis of intracerebral calcifications were discussed.

Özet

Hipoparatiroidi, bazal ganglion kalsiflkasyonlan ile seyredebilir. Ancak subkortikal beyaz cevhere kadar uzanım gösteren yaygın intraserebral kalsifıkasyonlar, hipoparatroidide nadir görülen bir tablodur. Bu olguda, etiyolojisi bilinmeyen epileptik nöbetler nedeniyle takip edilen 20 yaşındaki bayan hastada bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT)'de yaygın parankimal kalsifikasyonlar bulundu. BT bulguları ışığında hastaya iyatrojenik hipoparatiroidi tanısı kondu. Radyolojik bulgular tartışılarak, intraserebral kalsifikasyonlarm ayırıcı tanısı gözden geçirildi.
