Fahr's Disease

We report a case of 30-year-old man presenting chorea in his legs. A brain computed tomography (CT) scan showed bilateral symmetric calcifications in the basal ganglia, thalamus, cerebellum and subcortical white matter. Laboratory studies showed no abnormalities of serum calcium, phosphate, PTH, lactic acid, pyruvic acid and cerebrospinal fluid. Under the diagnosis of Fahr's disease (FD), we treated with quetiapine (75 mg/day), which completely abolished his symptoms and he showed no other side effect. Our experience suggests that quetiapine is well tolerated in FD patients and effectively treats chorea without extrapyramidal movement.

We examined glioma tissues immediately after en-bloc removal during surgery and measured elastic modulus, viscosity, and viscoelasticity of the gray and white matter to confirm the feasibility of measurement using an indentation device. Measurements were obtained from excised parenchymal brain tumor tissue of four adult patients. The white matter exhibited higher elastic modulus than the gray matter in all patients. Viscoelasticity analysis was performed in two patients, with viscoelastic behavior observed in the white but not in the gray matter in both patients. The loss of viscoelasticity in the white matter observed in one patient may be related to the calcification visible in the preoperative computed tomography image.
