| Abstract: | Cerebellar calcification on CT scan was observed in five patients over a two-year period. It was located bilaterally and symmetrically in the dentate nucleus in all 5 patients and in the cerebellar vermis in one. Calcifications of the basal ganglia and cerebral cortex were associated in two cases each. Skull radiography did not reveal the cerebellar calcifications, and serum calcium levels were normal in all patients. None had symptoms or signs of cerebellar dysfunction, and they had a variety of different clinical diagnoses. Cerebellar calcification may be a form of benign intracerebral calcification. |
