RESUMO

Relata-se um caso de neurocisticercose associada a hipoparatireoidismo. Discute-se a relação destes com a "doença de Fahr", após breve revisão crítica da literatura.

SUMMARY

The author reports a case of neurocysticercosis and hypoparathyroidism in a 28 year-old female with bilateral symmetric basal ganglia calcification demonstrable by C.A.T.-Scan. A brief review of the literature is made in order to show why the eponym "Fahr's disease" should not be applied to this case.
