A member asked:
What is calcification of the brain tissue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends where: Excess calcium deposited in the tissues, usually sufficient that it can be seen on a ct scan. Whether it is a problem depends, in part, on where there is calcium. Calcium in the choroid plexus and pineal regions is a normal part of aging, for example.
