A Rare Fahr’s disease Diagnosed in Two siblings: A case report
Abstract Fahr disease is a rare neurological disorder mostly presented with movement disorder, extrapyramidal symptoms and chronic cognitive dysfunction. They seldomly presented with seizures. We report cases of Fahr disease in two siblings, aged 17 and 15 years, who presented with seizures. This case highlights that Fahr disease may present early with atypical features and should be considered in young patients with unexplained seizures.
