Abstract

Fahr\'s disease is a rare disorder where bilateral, almost symmetric, calcium and other mineral deposits occur in basal ganglia, cerebellar dentate nucleus and white matter. Common clinical findings of the disease are characterizing parkinsonism, dystonia, chorea, ataxia and psychiatric symptoms. Fahr\'s disease is associated with various metabolic disorders especially with parathyroid disorders. In this article a 65 year old female patient with vision loss and headache, bilateral basal ganglia and cerebellar calsification on Computerized Tomography examination and a 45 year old female patient with convulsive state and bilateral caudat nucleus calcification on Computerized Tomography examination were reported.

Özet

Fahr Hastalığı bazal ganglionlar, serebellar dentat nükleus ve beyaz cevherde bilateral ve hemen daima simetrik olarak kalsiyum ve diğer minerallerin depolandığı nadir bir hastalıktır. Klinik bulgular sıklıkla parkinsonizm, distoni, tremor, kore, ataksi ve psikiyatrik bulgularla karakterizedir. Fahr Hastalığı paratiroid bozukluklar başta olmak üzere değişik metabolik bozukluklara bağlı olarak ortaya çıkabilir. Bu yazıda görme kaybı ve baş ağrısı olan, bilgisayarlı beyin tomografisinde bilateral bazal ganglionlarda ve serebellumda kalsifikasyon tespit edilen 65 yaşındaki bayan hasta ile konvülsiyonla karşımıza çıkan bilgisayarlı beyin tomografisinde bilateral kaudat nukleuslarda kalsifikasyon tespit edilen 45 yaşındaki bayan hasta sunulmuştur.
