# Challenging Diagnosis of Fahr's Disease Mimicking Parkinson's Disease: A Case Report

## TL;DR

This case report highlights how Fahr's disease can mimic Parkinson's disease, emphasizing the need for careful diagnosis.

## Contribution

The paper presents a case where Fahr's disease was misdiagnosed as Parkinson's, raising awareness of this rare condition.

## Key findings

- Fahr's disease can present with symptoms similar to Parkinson's, such as bradykinesia and hypophonia.
- Neurologists may overlook Fahr's disease due to its rarity and atypical clinical course.

## Abstract

Patients presenting with parkinsonism symptoms such as severe bradykinesia and significant hypophonia, along with an atypical clinical course, should be evaluated for secondary parkinsonism syndromes and other causes of parkinsonism. One of these causes is known as Fahr's disease, which is often overlooked by neurologists and other physicians.
