Abstract
A 22-year-old male diabetic on hemodialysis suffered a cerebral anoxie event. Serial CT showed the development of basal ganglia calcification over a period of no more than 17 days. It appears that the basal ganglia may develop petechial hemorrhage, necrosis, calcification, or combinations of these following an anoxic insult. The neuropathologic substrate and mechanism of rapid postanoxic calcification are unknown.Keywords
