Extensive and bilateral calcification on basal ganglia, thalami, subcortical white matter and dentate nuclei of the cerebellum.
Case Discussion
Fahr disease is a disorder characterized by abnormal calcium deposition with subsequent atrophy involving the basal ganglia +/- cerebral and cerebellar cortical regions.
