Pineal calcification.
The incidence of pineal calcification was studied by reviewing skull radiographs of 1400 patients admitted to a major neurosurgical centre at Karachi over an eight year period. The total frequency as well as age and sex distribution of pineal calcification were worked out and compared with frequency and age distribution of calcification reported in Western and Eastern races by different workers.
