"Idiopathic" cerebellar calcifications: association with hypothyroidism?

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.

Dose standardisation of botulinum toxin.

“…Antibody titres were considered increased when they were higher than 3 SD from the mean of the results from the 43 normal controls. High titres were confirmed by high performance thin layer chromatography according to the method described by Ilyas et al 4 Positive samples were also studied by immunostaining after absorption in nitrocellulose by a method developed in our laboratory.…”
