  • Title: Incidental finding of lamellar calcification of the falx cerebri leading to the diagnosis of gorlin-goltz syndrome.
    Author: Saulite I, Voykov B, Mehra T, Hoetzenecker W, Guenova E.
    Journal: Case Rep Dermatol; 2013; 5(3):301-3. PubMed ID: 24403894.
    Abstract:
    Here, we report the case of an incidental finding of lamellar calcification of the falx cerebri in a routine computed tomography scan of the head after an accidental trauma. This lamellar calcification led to the diagnosis of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GGS) in the patient and her daughter. Lamellar calcification of the falx cerebri is a pathognomonic feature of GGS. Our case report highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary diagnostic approach to GGS.
