Head CT demonstrated progressive dural calcifications, whereas MR imaging demonstrated progressive dural thickening and enhancement during a 3-year period in which the patient received several gadolinium-enhanced MR imaging studies. To the best of our knowledge, dural calcifications are the only described intracranial finding of NSF. This article has been cited by other articles: K. Kitaura, K. Harima, N. Inami, T.
