Epileptic seizure as the prominent symptom in Fahr syndrome, case report and literature review

Fahr syndrome is characterized by bilateral calcifications in the basal ganglia, thalami, cerebellum, and cerebral subcortical white matter, which is primarily associated with endocrine abnormalities, particularly disturbances in parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, such as hypoparathyroidism, and may be linked to brain infections or toxic exposures. Abnormal calcium deposition resulting from disorders in calcium and phosphate metabolism can lead to various neurological and psychiatric manifestations in young to middle-aged adults, including movement disorders, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and other central nervous system features.
