Abstract

Fahr's syndrome is a rare neurological disorder marked by unusual calcium deposits in specific brain regions. Its occurrence is linked to various underlying causes, including hormonal imbalances, genetic predispositions, infections affecting the central nervous system, and exposure to certain toxic substances. We describe a pediatric case of Fahr's syndrome linked to hypoparathyroidism, presenting with seizures and developmental delays. Suspicion of this diagnosis was raised due to anamnestic, clinical, and laboratory findings and confirmed after the cerebral computed tomography (CT) scan showed brain calcifications. Emphasizing the necessity of early identification, this case underscores the value of clinical and biological markers in guiding diagnosis. Additionally, it highlights the essential role of imaging techniques in confirming the presence of brain calcifications and aiding effective management.
