A presença de calcificações bilaterais dos gânglios da base associadas a manifestações neurológicas foi por muito tempo diagnosticada como doença de Fahr . Apresentamos os casos de dois pacientes com calcificações bilaterais de gânglios da base que apresentavam síndromes extrapiramidais e hipoparatireoidismo. Revimos a literatura pertinente e discutimos a identidade da doença de Fahr e as relações entre calcificações dos gânglios da base, manifestações neurológicas e endócrinas.

Bilateral calcifications in the basal ganglia associated with neurological manifestations was diagnosed as Fahr disease for a long time. We present the cases of two patients with bilateral calcifications in the basal ganglia who presented hypoparathyroidism and extrapyramidal syndrome. Based on literature review we discuss the identity of Fahr disease and the relationship between calcifications in the basal ganglia and manifestations of endocrine system dysfunctions.
