Calcinosis dystrophy (Stickler syndrome) is a degenerative process characterized by calcification or, conversely, softening of the internal structures and tissues of a person. The cause of this pathological phenomenon is the increased production of calcium ions, which can occur as a result of various reasons, including heredity, infectious diseases, injury, excessive alcohol consumption and poor diet.
The main symptoms of calcification dystrophy include multiple calcifications in various tissues of the body, decreased lung density, hearing loss, vision impairment and other neurological manifestations. In some cases, calcification dystrophy syndrome manifests itself in the form of frequent migraines and other forms of headaches. Excess calcium in the body can lead to the development of kidney failure and type 2 diabetes. However, calcification is not necessarily associated with these pathological phenomena - such dystrophic calcification also occurs due to the accumulation of bacteria in different structures of the body. When performing an ultrasound examination, calcification in the later stages of this pathology often takes on the character of visualization in the form of calcareous “scars” due to the fact that after overgrowing with deposits of calcium salts, fibrous tissues form scars.
Calcification of dystrophyosis is manifested by visually noticeable darkening of the skin, especially on
