Title Of Article :
RARE CAUSE OF HYPOCALCEMİA: FAHR S DISEASE
Abstract :
Fahr’s disease is a rare neurological disorder characterized by bilateral basal ganglia calcinosis. Calcifications cause obliteration in micro vessels, neuronal degeneration and gliosis accumulating bilaterally at the basal ganglia, thalamus, centrum semiovale and the dentate nucleus. The most used diagnostic method is cranial tomography to determine the calcifications. Fahr’s disease presents sporadically, inheritedly or secondarily (tumor, inflammation, hypoxia, endocrine, toxic, metabolic, degenerative, malabsorbtive). We want to emphasize the consequence of this syndrome for the patients presenting with hypoparathyroidism.
