Abstract
Bilateral striopallidodentate calcinosis involves calcification of the basal ganglia and dentate nuclei of the cerebellum. On occasion it may be associated with either hypoparathyroidism or pseudohypoparathyroidism. We report a 52-year-old woman with enduring dysarthria. She had bilateral calcification of the basal ganglia, thalamus, and dentate nuclei on a brain CT. She also had hypothyroidism. Familial study including her son and daughter was negative. We emphasize the need to evaluate the thyroid function in patients with specific intracranial calcifications.KeyWords:Calcification, Hypothyroidism, CT
