Description : Bilateral striopallidodentate calcinosis, also known as idiopathic basal ganglia calcification
(IBGC), is characterized by the accumulation of calcium deposits in different brain
regions and is associated with a neurodegenerative clinical phenotype. The changes
seen in IBGC occur in the absence of calcium or parathyroid hormone (PTH; 168450)
metabolic disorders, such as hypoparathyroidism (see 146200) or pseudohypoparathyroidism
(PHP; see 103580). See also the adult-onset form (213600), which is sometimes erroneously
referred to as 'Fahr disease.';
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant; Autosomal recessive;
Laboratory abnormalities : Normal serum calcium; Normal serum phosphorus;
