"Idiopathic" cerebellar calcifications: association with hypothyroidism?

J W Burke1, B R Williamson, R W Hurst.   

Abstract

During a 3-year period, unexplained intracerebellar calcifications were seen at computed tomographic (CT) examination in six patients. A surprisingly high association with hypothyroidism was seen, with two-thirds of these patients showing the abnormality. Although an uncommon finding at CT, the presence of cerebellar calcification may indicate hypothyroidism.
