    the presence of bilateral calcification of the basal ganglia; the presence of progressive neurologic dysfunction; the absence of an alternative metabolic, infectious, toxic or traumatic cause; a family history consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance; The calcification is usually identified on CT scan but may be visible on plain films of ...

  4. Cerebroretinal microangiopathy with calcifications and cysts

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebroretinal...

    The most consistent finding are widespread calcifications, which involve the white matter of the cerebrum mostly adjacent to the junction with the grey matter, the thalami, the basal ganglia and the brainstem. [1] [2] The white matter of the cerebellum and the dentate nuclei are less often involved. However, the brain may appear normal in the ...

  5. Basal ganglia disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_ganglia_disease

    The basal ganglia is a collective group of structures in the brain. These include the striatum, (composed of the putamen and caudate nucleus), globus pallidus, substantia nigra, and the subthalamic nucleus. Along with other structures, the basal ganglia are part of a neural circuit that is integral to voluntary motor function. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_ganglia

    The basal ganglia (BG) or basal nuclei are a group of subcortical nuclei found in the brains of vertebrates. In humans and other primates , differences exist, primarily in the division of the globus pallidus into external and internal regions, and in the division of the striatum .

  7. Aicardi–Goutières syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aicardi–Goutières_syndrome

    Cerebral calcifications: Calcifications on CT (computed tomography) are seen as areas of abnormal signal, typically bilateral and located in the basal ganglia, but sometimes also extending into the white matter.

  8. ISG15 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISG15

    Basal ganglia calcification is observed in all patients reported to date and represents the underlying autoinflammatory disease of excessive IFN-I activity, known as type I interferonopathy. [15] The basal ganglia calcifications may cause epileptic seizures but often are asymptomatic.

  9. Polycystic lipomembranous osteodysplasia with sclerosing ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycystic_lipomembranous...

    CT or MRI of the brain show loss of tissue in the frontotemporal lobes of the brain. Calcification of the basal ganglia is common. EEG is typically normal initially but diffuse slowing and irritative activity later. [citation needed]
