We describe a family with autosomal dominant hypoparathyroidism. The 3 affected individuals had no detectable serum parathyroid hormone on radioimmunoassay. The propositus presented with seizures and on CT scan had bilateral basal ganglion calcification and calcification in the frontal lobes. His si

We report on a patient who developed acute parkinsonian symptoms following shunt revision for hydrocephalus. Parkinsonism improved dramatically after levodopa therapy. Furthermore, there was no recurrence of Parkinsonism despite discontinuation of levodopa. This observation suggests that Parkinsonis

Currently, infectious agents are a rare cause of parkinsonism. We report on an immunocompetent patient with persistent parkinsonism associated with cryptococcal abscesses of the basal ganglia.

## Abstract We report two familial cases of idiopathic basal ganglia calcification. A 60‐year‐old proband with choreoathetosis, dysarthria, and cognitive decline showed more extensive brain calcinosis, hypoperfusion, and hypometabolism than did his asymptomatic 82‐year‐old mother. The mother had no

## Abstract **Background:** Autosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia with thin corpus callosum is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by spastic paraparesis, cognitive impairment, and peripheral neuropathy. The neuroradiologic hallmarks are thin corpus callosum and periventricular w
