Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your CT scan findings. I would like to reassure you that calcification in basal ganglia is a normal finding in most people and there is no need to worry about that.
In any case, we would like to know about your symptoms and problems.
If there is extensive calcification in brain, then, conditions such as pseudohypoparathyroidism and hypoparathyroidism (both due to hormonal imbalance) should be excluded.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
