Globus pallidus calcification in Down syndrome with progressive neurologic deficits.

S Okano1, Y Takeuchi, E Kohmura, H Yoshioka, T Sawada.   

Abstract

We report a 10-year-old Down syndrome patient who developed dystonia, choreoathetosis, dysarthria, and dysphagia beginning with hemiparesis. Cranial computed tomography disclosed bilateral calcification in the globus pallidus which resembled a sign of premature aging. Conversely, the clinical course and magnetic resonance imaging findings resembled those of Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome.
