[Idiopathic calcification of the cerebral vessels (Fara's syndrome) in conjunction with pregnancy].
Typical Fara's syndrome occurs rarely, particularly in combination with pregnancy. It is characterized by the deposits of calcium, magnesium, zinc and manganese salts in the medium layer of the brain vessels. The salts are arranged in a concentric pattern thus giving the arteries of the middle diameter and arterioles the appearance of a narrow tube. The capillaries are transformed into the salt lumps with the obliterated lumen. Etiology and pathogenesis of the disease remain unclear.
