Özet

<p><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">In this study, cerebral calcified lesions shovving hyperintensity on conventional magnetic resonance spin-echo T1-weighted images were evaluated. 9 patients, ages ranging from 3 months to 56 years old were included in the study. Cranial unenhanced computed tomography (CT) and conventional spin-echo (SE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)(Turbo SE T2-, and T1-weighted) were performed in ali patients. The diagnosis of the patients were then confirmed either by clinical examination or laboratory findings. 4 patients had bilateral symmetric calcifications in the basal ganglia. The lesions were hyperdense on CT studies vvhereas they depicted hyperintensity on SE T1-vveghted MR images. Some of the lesions were also hyperintense on turbo SE T2-weighted images. These patients were diagnosed as Fahr's disease.&nbsp;</span><br></p>
