 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 7 Intracranial CT diagnosis of metastatic calcification [Abstract] Objective To analyze the intracranial metastatic calcification in CT, increased intracranial calcification on CT diagnosis of metastatic ability. Methods 16 patients with pathologically confirmed primary malignant metastatic intracranial calcification occur cases retrospectively. The results of intracranial metastatic tumors were classified into nodular calcification and patchy metastatic calcification may be associated with a small amount of edema lesions, including nodular calcification of intracranial metastases in 6 cases, calcification of the transfer of patchy tumors in 10 patients. Conclusion CT with clinical history and signs, can the performance of specific metastatic intracranial calcification make a correct diagnosis. [Keywords:] CT diagnosis of metastatic calcification Metastases in the skull is a good site, with the incidence of various malignant tumors gradually increased in all parts of the body more and more metastases. Fatality rate is also correspondingly higher, some special types of clinical metastases of lack of knowledge easily lead to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis are now 16 cases of our hospital intracranial metastatic calcification as a simple analysis. 1 Materials and methods 1.1 The summary of clinical data in our hospital from September 1994 to December 2007 in different parts of malignant intracranial metastatic calcification in cases of 16 patients, of which 10 cases of males and 6 females, aged from 34 to 78 years, mean age 61.5 years old. were confirmed by surgery or pathology with primary malignant tumors, including: lung cancer in 8 cases, 2 cases of thyroid cancer, breast cancer in 2 cases, 1 case of ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, 1 case of malignant germ cell tumor, 1 case of prostate cancer 1 case. where 3 cases of lung cancer, ovarian cancer surgery in 1 case, 1 case of gastric cancer, thyroid cancer surgery in 2 case
