Calcification of basal ganglia associated with pontine calcification in four cases: a radiologic and genetic study

Calcification of basal ganglia associated with pontine calcification in four cases: a radiologic and genetic study

We describe 4 brothers with calcification of basal ganglia, pons and dentate nuclei. An abnormal iron metabolism was found in one case. The radiological, pathogenetic and genetic aspects of this disease are discussed.
