A case of Fahr’s Disease - A bright brain
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: The term “Farh’s disease” was first coined by Karl Theodore Fahr in 1930. As seen in medical literature, this disease is predominantly autosomal dominant in inheritance as compared to autosomal recessive1.Fahr’s disease is a rare neurological disorder often characterized by neuropsychiatric behavior, Parkinsonian type movement disturbances and symmetrical calcification of the basal ganglia and dentate nucleus in the cerebellum2. We report a case of Fahr’s Disease in a 60 year old female.
