Abstract
- A l9-year-old boy was admitted because of progressive spastic quadriparesis and bulbar palsy which developed from 3 years ago. The results of all performed laboratory tests were normal, but neuroradiologic tests revealed intracerebral calcification and degeneration of oilateral pyramidal tracts. Idiopathic familial intracerebral calcification was rarely occurred and presented usually with various extrapyramidal and cortical symptoms. Mild pyramidal symptoms were also associated in some reported cases, but none of them showed predominant spasticity as well as suspicious pyramidal tract degeneration on magnetic resonance imaging.
