                  Calcifications in basal ganglia could be an incidental finding up to 20% of asymptomatic patients undergoing computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. The presence of neuropsychiatric symptomatology associated with basal ganglia calcifications identifies a clinical entity defined as Fahr's Disease. This term is used in presence of calcifications secondary to a specific cause, but the variability of etiology, pathogenesis, and clinical picture underlying this condition have raised the question of the real existence of a syndrome. Several classifications based on the etiology, the location of brain calcifications and the clinical presentation have been proposed.  |
