Rapid Postanoxic Calcification of the Basal Ganglia
Neurol 42:2144-2146, Midroni,G.&Willinsky,R., 1992
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
A 22-year-old male diabetic on hemodialysis suffered a cerebral anoxic event.Serial CT showed the development of basal ganglia calcification over a period of no more than 17 days.It appears that the basal ganglia may develop petechial hemorrhage,necrosis,calcification,or combinations of these following an anoxic insult.The neuropathologic substrate and mechanism of rapid postanoxic calcification are unknown.
