ABSTRACT

Fahr syndrome is a rare anatomo-clinic disease whose most common cause is primary or postoperative hypoparathyroidism. It is characterized by bilateral and symmetrical intracerebral calcifications located in the central gray nuclei, most often associated with phosphocalcium metabolism disorders. We here report the case of a 28-year old patient who underwent surgery for two parathyroid adenomas, presenting with neuropsychiatric symptoms revealing Fahr syndrome secondary to hypoparathyroidism.
