Figures
Figure 1
(a) Computed tomography topogram revealed luckenschadel skull with intracranial calcification. (b) Non contrast axial computed tomography image showing calcification of the Dentate nuclei. (c) Non contrast axial computed tomography images showing exuberant calcification in bilateral Gangliocapsular region, Thalamus (red arrows) and (d) grey-white matter junction
Figure 2
T2-weighted (a and b) and corresponding fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (c and d) images showing diffuse white matter hyperintensity suggesting leukoencephalopathy
Figure 3
T1-weighted (a and b) and corresponding T2-weighted (c and d) images showing cysts in bilateral Cerebellar hemispheres (white arrow), above the third ventricle and in the region of Pineal gland. There is also associated obstructive hydrocephalus
Figure 4
(a and b) magnetic resonance imaging shows blooming in bilateral Basal Ganglia, Thalami and Dentate nuclei on gradient echo images suggesting calcification
