Basal calcification

Basal nucleus calcification is idiopathic basal ganglia calcification (IBGC), also known as Fahr disease, which was first reported by Fahr (1930). Bilateral basal calcification is caused by a variety of reasons called bilateral basal calcification syndrome or Fahr syndrome. Pale globules and caudate nucleus calcification are more common in older age, and can also appear in normal people. Those who have calcium plaque after 40 years of age are more physiological and have no clinical significance. . In addition to basal nucleus calcification, there is still cerebellar calcification. With the popularization of CT scans in China, the discovery of calcification of basal ganglia has increased significantly. Some are calcified on one side of the basal nucleus, but most are calcified on both sides.
