Résumé

Fahr syndrome is a rare condition mainly characterized by symmetric and bilateral calcification of basal ganglia and cerebellar nuclei. Herein, we report a case of a 67-year-old woman with a history of parathyroidectomy and Parkinsonism, who was admitted to hospital with suspected neuroinfection, and imaging features that were consistent with Fahr syndrome. The objective of this study is to teach clinicians about a neurologic illness that requires comprehensive medical and neurologic investigation due to the manifestations of lymphocytic meningitis might distract you from Fahr syndrome symptoms.
