title: Diffuse encephalic calcification. A case report.
abstract: The basal ganglia calcification is known since the last century but with the new neuroimage techniques (CT scan) its diagnosis became more frequent specially in asymptomatic patients. The authors report a case with non-familial primary diffuse encephalic calcification with exuberant calcifications on cerebral hemispheres, cerebellum and brain stem, seen on CT scan.
