Intracerebral @entity730 , especially in the basal ganglia, are observed in many kinds of diseases. A 41-year-old @entity1 is reported, who suffered from an acute epidural @entity1410 and underwent surgery to remove the @entity1410 . We detected very extensive intracerebral calcification on CT. Laboratory findings revealed @entity3747 and @entity2265 . General physical examination revealed characteristics typical of @entity9474 . The @entity1 was diagnosed as having @entity9474 type I by the Ellsworth-Howard test. Since the advent of CT, the incidence of @entity15206 has increased. CT is 5 to 15 times more sensitive than skull radiography in the detection of intracerebral calcification. Although many pathological states can cause @entity15206 , most of the @entity730 which are recognized on CT scans are physiological. But in cases in which @entity15206 are recognized also on plain radiographs, various kinds of symptoms including ones of basal ganglia origin are often recognized, and @entity730 often extend to regions other than basal ganglia, eg. cerebellum, thalamus, etc. @entity9474 is a @entity395 which presents @entity3747 , some characteristic physical appearances, and @entity303 . It is important to decide whether further examinations are necessary or not, when @entity15206 is recognized incidentally on CT scan.
