Idiopathic basal ganglia calcification as a differential diagnosis of parkinsonism: A case report in an older adult

摘要

We present the case of a 76-year-old man who was admitted to the emergency room of Dario Fernandez General Hospital, ISSSTE (Mexico City, Mexico) with slurred speech of a few hours of onset. His relevant background included hypertension since he was 68 years-of-age without current treatment, and a posterior cervical laminectomy because of medullar injury when he was 72 years-of-age.
