Abstract

Fahr's Syndrome (FS) is a rare neurological disorder of abnormal calcium deposition. FS is most notably characterized by deterioration of motor function, neuropsychiatric impairment and seizures. These symptoms are primarily due to calcification of the basal ganglia and cerebral cortex. Although there are currently no curative therapies, treatments are available which can significantly improve quality of life, making early diagnosis and identification of etiology essential. Hypoparathyroidism with intracranial calcification is extremely rare clinically. Here we present a case of idiopathic hypoparathyroidism induced Fahr's syndrome with classic symptomatology, imaging of examination findings and extensive cerebral calcifications.
