The evidence of hyperparathyroidism associated with cerebral calcifications is rare. We report a case with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and cerebral calcifications. A 63-year-old female patient with a history of hypertension presented to the neurology department due to bradykinesia and declining memory for one year. Cranial CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan revealed symmetrical calcifications in the basal ganglia, dentate nucleus of the cerebellum and in the gray and white matter junction. In the literature review, a total of 6 patients with PHPT had cerebral calcifications. Parathyroidectomy may provide a significant remission of cerebral calcifications in a patient with PHPT.
