Unusual roentgenological findings in cytomegalic inclusion body disease: large and circumscribed calcareous deposits of the basal ganglia and scattered calcifications of the parieto-occipital cortex

Pediatr Radiol. 1975 Jan 24;3(1):47-9. doi: 10.1007/BF00973366.

Abstract

The roentgenological and clinical findings of a five year old girl suffering from cytomegalic inclusion body disease are reported. In this disease unusual circumscript and large calcareous deposits of the basal ganglia and scattered gyriform calcifications of the occipito-parietal cortex were shown on plain skull x-rays and their paraventricular localization demonstrated on pneumoencephalotomogram.
