Abstract
- Symptomatic bilateral striopallidodentate calcinosis is required to identify the underlying causes. Disorder of calcium metabolism, such as hypoparathyroidism is the most common cause. We report a patient with hypoparathyroidism induced intracranial calcification who presented seizure and psychotic symptoms in adult and finally diagnosed as a choromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.
