Abstract
Bilateral striopallidodentate calcinosis, popularly referred to as Fahr's disease, is a disorder radiologically characterized by bilateral calcifications of the basal ganglia, thalami, dentate nuclei of the cerebellum, and the white matter of the cerebral hemisphere without serum calcium-phosphorus metabolism and related endocrinologic abnormalities. Intracranial calcifications are easily visible as high-density on CT. On magnetic resonance images, the calcifications exhibit different signal intensities. The differences in signal intensity are thought to be related to the stage of the disease, differences in calcium metabolism, and the volume of the calcium deposit. Based on literature review, I report the case of a 63 year man with bilateral symmetrical calcification in the basal ganglia, dentate nuclei of the cerebellum, and the white matter of the cerebral hemisphere who present a 5 year history of progressive dysarthria associated with left thalamic infarction.
