Relax: These are fairly common and usually mean nothing. It's your physicians' business if they want to study more, but if you feel okay and don't have obvious neurologic problems, I'll bet they are nothing. http://neuroradiologyonthenet.blogspot.com/2008/09/dystrophic-intracranial-calcifications.html
