[Histopathogenetic aspects in a case of Fahr's disease (non arteriosclerotic calcinosis of the brain) (author's transl)].
The study of one case of non arteriosclerotic calcinosis of the brain (Fahr's Disease) gives an opportunity for a discussion on the main pathogenetic aspects of this syndrome. Some features of hypertrophy and hyperplasia of astrocytes contrast with the fair preservation of neurons. It is suggested that such condition should be considered as an "astroglial syndrome" in Seitelberg's terminology.
