Abstract


Fahr disease is a rare neurodegenerative disease characterized by abnormal calcium deposition in the basal ganglia and cerebral cortex. The disease usually presents with alterations of memory, cognitive functions, movement disorders and psychiatric disorders, without reporting in the literature of visual impairment to date. We present the case of a patient with Fahr disease with bilateral visual impairment associated with cortical calcifications in the occipital lobe.
