  • Title: Non-tumoral non-infectious intracranial calcifications.
    Author: Rózyło-Kalinowska I, Złomaniec J, Jedrzejewski G.
    Journal: Ann Univ Mariae Curie Sklodowska Med; 2002; 57(2):1-8. PubMed ID: 12898811.
    Abstract:
    Intracranial calcifications are often an accidental finding on conventional radiograms or computed tomography (CT) scans. They can be physiologic or pathologic, accompanying various diseases of the central nervous system. Pathologic calcifications can be found in tumors as well as in other non-neoplastic diseases. In differential diagnosis of intracranial calcifications there should be mentioned two groups: infectious and non-infectious calcifications. In the paper there were discussed non-tumoral non-infectious intracranial calcifications. Although more sporadic than tumoral or infectious calcifications, calcified lesions in non-infectious diseases should also be taken into account in differential diagnosis of intracranial calcifications.
