Abstract/OtherAbstract:
After commenting briefly on the literature on Fahr syndrome, we describe a patient with an unusual association of cerebral calcifications and motoneuron disease. We discuss the possible role of brain calcifications in the clinical picture and stress the importance of the routine use of CT scanning and MRI to show further similar associations, possibly leading to a better understanding of the pathophysiology.
