Idiopathic basal ganglia calcifications: an atypical presentation of PKAN.

Pediatric neurology - 1 Nov 2013

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: We report a patient with pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration presenting as idiopathic basal ganglia calcifications, previously known as Fahr's disease. METHODS: A teenage girl presented with slowly progressive dystonia. Her brain magnetic resonance imaging scan revealed T1 and T2 hypointensities in both globus pallidi, and no eye-of-the-tiger sign. Computed tomography showed dense globus...
