[Fahr disease and idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis in a 10 year old patient (author's transl)].
A 10 year old patient with acute respiratory insufficiency, dispnea, cough, temperature, cyanosis and hemoptisis is presented. Cranial X-rays and scanning revealed basal ganglia calcifications. Intense hypocalcemia and hyperphosphoremia were found as well as response to parathyroid hormone administration. A diagnosis of primary hypoparathyroidism and idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis was made. These two diseases are associated and related because of the autoimmune nature of both of them.
