Title

Mineral Deposition in Brain Due to Endocrine Disorder - Fahr's syndrome - A case report

Abstract

Abstract: Fahr’s syndrome is a rare neurological disorder characterized by abnormal calcifications in the brain [Basal ganglia- involves in tuning voluntary movements,Cerebral cortex- involves in maintaining attention,Thalamus- involves in relaying motor and sensory signals to the cerebral cortex and refutes sleep,wakefulness, and Hippocampus - involves in storing long term memories, Cerebellar white matter-helps in communication between the grey matter regions and rest of the body and dentate nucleus involves in motor and nonmotor function ]. This is mainly causedby genetic mutations, other diseases such as endocrine disorders, infections, and others. Clinical manifestations include movement disorders and Neuropsychiatric related symptoms. Diagnosis of Fahr’s syndromecan be done by neuroimaging tests (CT scan and MRI), Parathyroid dysfunction (PTH levels), progressive neurological dysfunction, mitochondrial disease, family history, or other disease associated with brain calcificationare alsoconsidered. There isno cure for Fahr's syndrome, but only symptomatic treatment is given, if calcium and phosphate levels are abnormal, they can be prescribed with intravenous calcium gluconate and oral therapy with calcium and calcitriol. Antiepileptic drugs for seizures, headaches, and tremors Alendronate drug was beneficial. Here we are reporting a case of a 12-year-old female with chief complaints of tonic-clonic seizures, vomitings, tetany which was diagnosed as Fahr’s Syndrome secondary to Pseudohypoparathyroidism based on MRI where bilateral calcification was observed in basal ganglia and based on parathormone, calcium andphosphate levels.

Key Words

Fahr's disease, Pseudohypoparathyroidism, Parathormone, basal ganglia.
