Intracranial calcification in hyperparathyroidism associated with gait apraxia and parkinsonism

D Margolin et al. Neurology. 1980 Sep.

Abstract

Two patients with hyperparathyroidism had symmetric calcification of the brain, including the basal ganglia. In both patients, the neurologic disorder included parkinsonism and gait apraxia. Computerized tomography may help define the prevalence and clinical manifestations of this rare syndrome.
