Brain sand or corpora arenacea
Definition:
The intercellular spaces of pineal gland contain calcified granular
material known as brain sand or corpora arenacea
Locations of
corpora arenacea:
Pineal
gland
Brain
sand also found in other brain area such as choroid plexus
In
the leptomeninges,
In
the habenular commissure
Composition:
- calcium phosphate,
- calcium carbonate,
- magnesium phosphate, and
- ammonium phosphate
How
these calcifications are produce?
These calcifications are derived from precipitation
of calcium phosphates and carbonates on carrier proteins that are released into
the cytoplasm pinealocytes (the chief cells of pineal gland). These precipitation
of calcium is release into intercellular spaced of pineal gland during
secretion of pineal gland by exocytosis .
They are the result of caclification
of dead cells (e.g. erythrocytes or glial cells).
Factors increases the calcification :
This calcification process is caused by constant exposure to substances like fluoride which build up in the body over time. Toothpaste, public water systems, hormones, food additives, excess sugar and sweeteners in your diet or even regular exposure to cell phones has been linked to the phenomenon of calcifying the pineal gland.

Clinical
importance
It is appear as opaque structure in x-ray and
located in the midline of the brain .
These
concretions are conspicuous with imaging techniques and provide a useful
landmark for orientation in the diagnosis of intracranial diseases.
Age changes :
Calcification of the pineal gland is
unfortunately typical in adults, and has been observed in children as young as
2 with estimates of 40% of population experiencing symptoms of heavy
calcification of the pineal gland by the time they are 17. The degree of
calcification was associated to various diseases.
Benefits
