摘要

Fahr病是一种罕见的神经退行性疾病，其特征是在基底神经节和小脑齿状核的血管壁上沉积钙。患者可表现出多种症状，包括但不限于癫痫发作、锥体外系症状和智力迟钝。我们报告一例9岁女童的历史复发癫痫发作。颅脑CT示基底节区对称钙化。

Idiopathic basal ganglia calcification (Fahr’s disease) in a 9-year-old Nigerian child

Fahr’s disease is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by deposition of calcium on the walls of blood vessels of the Basal ganglia and Dentate nuclei of the Cerebellum. Patient can present with diverse array of symptoms including but not limited to seizure, extrapyramidal symptoms and mental retardation. We report a case of a 9-year-old female child with history of recurrent seizure. Brain CT showed symmetrical calcification in the basal ganglia.
