Fahr's syndrome: local inflammatory factors in the pathogenesis of calcification

L Morgante et al. J Neurol. 1986 Feb.

Abstract

Three cases of Fahr's syndrome are described. All patients had disturbances of calcium metabolism and had had a meningoencephalitis in childhood. It is suggested that gliovascular changes, induced by cerebral inflammation, can later facilitate the occurrence of calcification of the striopallidodentate system when abnormality of calcium metabolism develops.
