[Reflections on computer tomographic demonstration of extensive brain calcinosis in hyperparathyroidism]

An observation in our department showing vast calcifications of the brain proved by computertomography is compared to similar cases described in literature. Typical localisations of such calcifications are brought into relation with given anatomical conditions of the regions of calcifications. The spatial appearance of the structures of brain, their relative capillary density and the respective presence of an absolute amount of capillaries favour comprehension of chalc by computed tomography.
