Crystals in brain and meninges in primary hyperoxaluria and oxalosis

Abstract

A case (woman of 50) of primary hyperoxaluria and oxalosis with chronic renal failure, crystalline myocarditis, and disseminated calcium oxalate crystal deposition in various tissues including the brain and meninges is described. Deposition of crystals in brain and meninges is exceptionally rare in primary oxalosis.
