[Present data of Fahr's syndrome. Report of two cases of idiopathic strio-pallido-dentate calcifications revealed by computerized tomography (author's transl)].

The authors report two computed tomographic observations of Fahr's disease without disturbances in calcium-phosphorus metabolism; the first case is a by chance discovery and the second one is characterized by a cerebellar tremor. From the literature data they discuss successively clinical, radiological and computed tomographic, neuropathological, aetiopathogenetic and therapeutic aspects actually presented by strio-pallido-dentate calcifications (SPD) or Fahr's disease.
