Fahr syndrome, rare cause of neuropsychiatric manifestations in children: A two cases report

Abstract

Fahr syndrome is a rare anatomo-clinical entity in pediatrics. Associating calcifications of the basal ganglia with phospho-calcium metabolism disorders, most often resulting in neuropsychiatric symptoms. In our study, the discovery of this syndrome in our two patients was fortuitous thanks to the typical radiological appearance, associated with the clinical picture they initially presented, hence the interest of brain imaging in the diagnosis of this syndrome.
