| Abstract | The first description of the histology of basal ganglia calcification (BGC) was made by Delacour (1850), Virchow and Bamberger (1855) 2,13,15,19. in 1931, Fahr reported a case with BGC not associated with atherosclerotic changes of the cerebral vessels 1 1. Since then his name was linked with this condition. Fritzche, Kasanin and Crank (1935) described, by the first time, the findings of BGC on the plain X-ray 3,i7. Eaton and colleagues (1939) noted the association between BGC and hypoparathyroidism, and Sprage, later, between the former and pseudohypoparathyroidism 2. The BGC is, nowadays, a more frequent finding as the CT scan becomes widely available, and not only in the basal ganglia but also in the cerebral hemispheres, cerebellum and thalamus 1,9,10,14,21. |
