Abstract:
CT scan in a 52-year-old woman, admitted because of grand mal seizure, showed striopallidodentate calcifications due to postoperative hypoparathyroidism. This patient report stresses the possibility of cortical metabolic involvement in this disorder, as shown on Tc-99m HMPAO brain SPECT, despite the absence of cognitive defects.
