Carotid Siphon Calcification

Abstract
Fifty patients with calcification in the carotid siphon have been reviewed with regard to age, sex, radiographic appearances and clinical diagnoses. Compared with an age-sex matched control group there was an association with clinical occlusive cerebral vascular disease. Relationship to side of calcification and area of brain involved were analysed. There was no relationship between the type of calcification and the clinical diagnosis. Calcification in this site was not associated with undue decalcification of the posterior clinoids or dorsum sellae.
