Abstract
Hypoparathyroidism is a well-known potential complication of total thyroidectomy and is permanent in 1-3% of cases. One rare complication of chronic hypocalcemia is intracranial calcification, most commonly affecting the basal ganglia. We present a patient with longstanding postsurgical hypoparathyroidism, extensive central nervous system (CNS) calcinosis, but only mild neurologic symptoms.
