Stefan Johansson Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I'd suggest you screen the baby for congenital infections (TORCH). Consider serological tests (mother/infant) and lumbar puncture incl cultures and PCR for viruses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesco Cardona Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Antenatal ischemia may sometimes also present as calcifications of basal ganglia, but TORCH, esp. CMV seems the most likely diagnosis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vijayashankara Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 There may not be any connection between BG calcification and present symptoms, sometimes BG calcification may be a incidental finding on imaging studies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
