    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Human Anatomy

    Background:

    • Pineal calcification is a common finding in skull radiographs.
    • Its prevalence varies across different populations and age groups.
    • Understanding these variations is crucial for radiological interpretation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the incidence of pineal calcification in a Pakistani population.
    • To analyze the age and sex distribution of pineal calcification.
    • To compare these findings with existing data from Western and Eastern populations.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 1400 skull radiographs from neurosurgery patients.
    • Analysis of patient demographics (age, sex).
    • Statistical comparison with published literature.

    Main Results:

    • The study determined the frequency of pineal calcification in the studied cohort.
    • Age- and sex-specific prevalence rates were established.
    • Comparisons revealed potential differences or similarities with international data.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides valuable epidemiological data on pineal calcification in a South Asian population.
    • Findings contribute to the understanding of geographical variations in pineal gland calcification.
    • This research aids in the accurate interpretation of skull radiographs in diverse patient groups.
