The intracranial calcifications associated may be related to an increased risk for intracranial cerebrovascular disorders such as ischemic or hemorrhagic infarct.</p>\n<p><strong>Keywords: </strong><em>Fahr syndrome; case report; posterior circulation stroke; cerebellar infarct.</em></p>","language":"eng","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.
