- Diffuse dural calcifications
- Differential diagnosis of diffuse dural calcification
Diffuse dural calcification can occur in a number of settings. These include:
- parathyroid abnormalities
- nephrogenic systemic fibrosis 1
- congenital syndromes
Differential diagnosis
This needs to be differentiated from focal dural calcification which can occur with
- meningiomas
- previous subdural hemorrhages
- dural osteoma
