Calcification of the choroid plexus visualized by computed tomography

    Radiology

    Summary

    Choroid plexus calcification is common in aging and better seen with computed tomography (CT) than skull X-rays. Specific patterns in young patients may indicate pathological conditions requiring evaluation.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroradiology
    • Neuroimaging
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Physiologic choroid plexus calcification increases with age.
    • Computed tomography (CT) detects calcification more frequently than plain skull radiography.
    • Temporal horn calcification is linked to neurofibromatosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the increased detection of choroid plexus calcification with CT.
    • To identify specific CT findings suggestive of pathological calcification.
    • To guide evaluation of patients with abnormal calcification patterns.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of neuroimaging studies.
    • Comparison of CT findings with plain skull radiography.
    • Correlation of calcification patterns with clinical conditions.

    Main Results:

    • Choroid plexus calcification is 9-15 times more frequent on CT than plain radiography.
    • Exuberant calcification in young patients or specific locations (glomerula, lateral ventricles) warrants further investigation.
    • Calcification in the third ventricle roof or foramen of Monro region on routine CT necessitates evaluation.

    Conclusions:

    • CT is superior for visualizing choroid plexus calcification.
    • Certain calcification patterns in specific patient groups suggest underlying pathological conditions.
    • Prompt evaluation is recommended for patients with suspicious choroid plexus calcification findings.
