Abstract

Oxalosis is a rare metabolic disorder in which an enhanced production of oxalic acid leads to hyperoxalemia and deposition of calcium oxalate in different organs. Although the findings related to oxalosis in other organs have been reported, cerebrorenal oxalosis has been mentioned but their radiological finding has not been described. Therefore we aimed to describe the magnetic resonance imaging findings of an interesting case with cerebrorenal oxalosis manifesting as cerebral infarcts.
