Gunther's disease or congenital erythropoietic porphyria is a rare and severe disorder comprising cutaneous and haemolytic symptoms. Photocutaneous lesions are responsible for scleroderma-like calcifications and deformities of the extremities visible on X-rays. Hemolytic manifestations lead to diffuse major osteopenia. Soft tissue calcifications of the fingers can be seen even in young patients. One case reported here is the first illustration of intracranial calcifications located on dura-mater and calvarium.
