IllnessCalcification, intracerebral; differential diagnosis

NGS +

Heterogenous group of diseases: Intracranial calcifications are observed within the brain parenchyma or vasculature. The prevalence ranges from 1% in young individuals to up to 20% in elderly. However, brain calcifications were reported in up to 72% in autopsy cases with microscopic calcifications being the most common. Computed Tomography scanning has largely contributed in the accurate detection, localization and classification of intracranial calcifications.
