Fahr’s disease presenting with ischemic stroke in young adult: a case report of rare disease with unique presentation
This case illustrates that acute ischemic stroke can occur as a manifestation of Fahr's disease. CT scan plays vital role in establishing diagnosis by revealing the symmetrical calcification pattern in the basal ganglia, thalami, and cerebellar dentate nucleus. Establishing the association between Fahr's disease and cerebrovascular disease warrants further studies.
