Neurol 38:154-155, Tennison,M.B.,et al, 1988
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We studied a patient with autopsy-proven Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome(HSS) and the previously unreported finding of high-density lesions in the basal ganglia on CT.The diagnosis of HSS should be considered in a patient with dystonia and basal ganglia mineralization on CT.
