A Rare Case of Hypoparathyroidism With Basal Ganglia Calcification in a 17-year-old Epileptic Patient Presenting With Falciparum Malaria, Thrombocytopenia and Anemia.

Fahr Syndrome or Strio-Pallido Dentate Calcinosis is a rare neurological syndrome characterized by deposition of calcium in basal ganglia, which usually occurs secondary to other underlying endocrinological disorders like hypo/hyper-parathyroidism. Symptoms vary greatly and may range from psychiatric ones like confusion and hallucination to neurological like Tremors, Rigidity, with seizures being the rarest manifestation. Laboratory tests and brain imaging play a crucial role in establishing the diagnosis, while treatment primarily focuses on managing symptoms. Here, we report a case of a 17-year-old female diagnosed with Fahr's syndrome secondary to hypo-parathyroidism, onset of the disease at such young age coupled with uncommon presentation of fits makes this case rather remarkable.
