Basal ganglia Explanation: If it is a brain scan, I think that it might be the basal ganglia.. https://www.portalesmedicos.com/diccionario_medico/index.php... https://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=1... |

peer agreement (net): +1bilateral pallidal / globus pallidus [calcifications] Explanation: On the one hand: yes, this phenomenon is probably more commonly called "basal ganglia calcifications" than "pallidal" or "globus pallidus calcifications" in English. On the other hand, globus pallidus is only a part of the basal ganglia, and you probably can't tell whether or not the author of this report intended to refer to this particular region, or to the basal ganglia in general. Since there is a reasonable choice, I would stick to a more literal option in this case. "Various terms have been used to describe intracranial calcification including calcification(s) of the basal ganglia, basal ganglia calcification(s), Fahr syndrome, intracranial calcification, pallidal calcification, and striopallidodentate calcinosis." http://www.omjournal.org/CaseReports/FullText/200907/FT_ACas... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days 14 hrs (2019-10-08 07:14:48 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Oops, sorry, it didn't even occur to me that I should better explicitly comment on the bi- part as well. I am actually sure that it is "bilateral", both globi = the globi (globus?) in both hemispheres of the brain. |
