Mineralization of the basal ganglia detected by CT in Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome

Departments of Neurology, Pathology, and Radiology, School of Medicine of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC.

We studied a patient with autopsy-proven Hallervorden Spatz syndrome (HSS) and the previously unreported finding of high-density lesions in the basal ganglia on CT. The diagnosis of HSS should be considered in a patient with dystonia and basal ganglia mineralization on CT.
