title: [Intracranial calcifications in the differential diagnosis of epileptic disease].
abstract: We report the case of a patient with a history of goiter operation 26 years before who present recurrent convulsive episodes diagnosed of epilepsy. Our study shows that this clinical setting is a Fahr's Syndrome (intracranial calcifications and chronic Hypoparathyroidism). We compare our case with others of the medical literature and analyze the neurological findings in regard to the type of intracranial calcifications and the severity and duration of hypocalcemia.
