Resumen
FERREIRO GONZALEZ, Nelsy et al. Presentation of a Fahr disease case. ccm [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.3, pp. 537-543. ISSN 1560-4381.
We present an 87-year-old patient, with dizziness episodes, walking instability, and a several months’ cognitive deficit, attended at the Lenin Hospital, from Holguín, Cuba. Physical examination revealed: dysarthria, bradylalia, dynamic ataxia without lateralization and osteotendinoushyperreflexia, in both lower limbs. Humoral studies were normal and the computed axial tomography showed calcifications in the basal ganglia and cerebellum, and a periventricular white matter. It was diagnosed as a Fahr's disease.
Palabras clave : pathological cerebral and cerebellar calcifications; CT; ataxia.
