Abstract

Fahr's syndrome is a rare neurological disorder characterized by abnormal deposits of  calcium in the brain, particularly in the basal ganglia. This can lead to various neurological  symptoms such as movement disorders, cognitive impairment, and psychiatric manifestations.  The exact cause of Fahr's syndrome is not well understood, and treatment typically focuses on  managing symptoms. The study comprehensively examines the clinical presentation, ranging  from cognitive impairments to motor disturbances, and investigates potential etiological factors,  including genetic predispositions. Existing literature on diagnostic approaches, management  strategies, and the challenges encountered in treating Fahr's syndrome is critically analyzed.
