- Significant symmetrical abnormal focal signals in the bilateral basal ganglia, thalami, corona radiata, subcortical white matter as well as dentate neuclei and midbrain, returning T1 hyperintense signal with central low signal, T2 low signal and significant drop out signals in GRE images (representing calcification).

The distribution pattern of the calcifications (confirmed on CT, not shown) is characteristic for Fahr's syndrome.
