title: Basal ganglia calcification with hypoparathyroidism: a case report.
abstract: Basal ganglia calcification is rare before forty years. The causes for calcification are too many. If it occurs before forty years of age, it should be considered as pathological unless proved otherwise. In this case report, we will present a seventeen year boy who has pathological calcification in the basal ganglia with hypoparathyroidism.
