Multiple intracranial calcifications as a complication of external ventricular drain placement

Abstract

The authors present a case of multiple intracranial calcifications after the procedure of external ventricular drain placement in a 50-year-old man with pericallosal artery aneurysm. We believe that calcifications formed dust that had fallen into the track during the external ventricular drain procedure. The clinical features and radiological findings are presented with review of literature. © 2010 The Korean Neurosurgical Society.
