| Summary: | Background: The purpose of the
present study was to evaluate the incidence of physiologic intracranial calcifications
detected in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of in a group Turkish
Cypriot population.Methods: The CBCT
scans of the full head of 100 patients that met our ascertainment criteria were
evaluated retrospectively for the presence of physiological intracranial
calcifications.Results:
Intracranial calcification was found in 71 cases of 100 patients. The most
common site of calcification was habenular with 48% followed by %14
caroticoclinoid ligament, 13% interclinoid ligament and 8% choroid plexus. In
our study, petroclinoid ligament calcification was not observed at all.Conclusion: CBCT is widely used in many scientific investigations and anatomical
studies. Intracranial physiological calcification are frequent incidental
findings of CBCT scans.KEYWORDS
