title: Morbus Fahr--considerations on a case of sudden death.
abstract: Up to now, Fahr's disease has not been established as a cause of sudden death. We present the case of a middle-aged woman with vast bilateral basal ganglia and cerebellar calcifications that led to the diagnosis of Fahr's syndrome and at the same time gave a clue for the fatal outcome.
