Primary Fahr disease should only be considered when secondary causes of a Fahr syndrome are excluded, such as pseudohypoparathyroidism, mitochondrial diseases, infections (e.g. CMV, …

Fahr syndrome is a rare condition characterized by abnormal calcium deposits in the basal ganglia, thalamus, cerebellar dentate nuclei, and subcortical white matter, especially noted in …

Fahr disease, also known as familial cerebral ferrocalcinosis, is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by calcification in the deep grey matter nuclei, and subcortical white matter.

Fahr syndrome, also known as bilateral striatopallidodentate calcinosis, is characterized by abnormal vascular calcium deposition, particularly in the basal ganglia, cerebellar dentate …

Symmetric basal ganglia calcifications on CT should prompt evaluation for underlying metabolic disorders. Early detection of reversible causes like hypoparathyroidism is key to preventing …

Different calcifications are seen on CT scan. Prominent calcification of the basal ganglia (caudate and lentiform nucleus ) and thalamus stands out, a rare finding that may represent Fahr's …

Bilateral striopallidodentate calcinosis (BSPDC), commonly known as Fahr disease, is a rare syndrome characterized by symmetrical calcification of the basal ganglion and dentate nucleus.

Unenhanced CT head reveals bilateral dense calcification in the basal ganglia, and also some calcification noted in the frontal lobes and dentate nuclei bilaterally and is highly suggestive of …

Fahr disease is a disorder characterized by abnormal calcium deposition with subsequent atrophy involving the basal ganglia +/- cerebral and cerebellar cortical regions.
