RESUMEN
Reportamos el caso de un hombre de 64 años admitido en el servicio de emergencias por convulsiones. La tomografía computada cerebral reveló calcificaciones simétricas extensas de los hemisferios cerebrales, tálamo,ganglios de la base y cerebelo, El reporte radiológico sugirió enfermedad de Fahr, un trastorno neurodegenerativo con depósitos de calcio característicos en ganglios de la base y otras áreas cerebrales visibles en estudios de neuroimagen. Las calcificaciones cerebrales simétricas identificadas radiográficamente se presentan en una gran variedad de condiciones. Nuestro paciente fue sometido a una tireidectomía hace 46 años, que postoperatoriamente resultó en hipotirodismo e hipoparatiroidismo. Este es el primer caso reportado en nuestro país de hipoparatiroidismo posquirúrgico con calcificaciones cerebrales externsas.
ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 64-year-old man admitted to the emergency service for seizures. Cerebral computed tomography revealed extensive symmetrical calcifications of the cerebral hemispheres, thalamus, base ganglia, and cerebellum. The radiological report suggested Fahr's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder with characteristic calcium deposits in base ganglia, and other brain areas visible in studies. neuroimaging. Radiographically identified symmetric brain calcifications occur under a wide variety of conditions. Our patient underwent a thyroidectomy 46 years ago, which postoperatively resulted in hypothyroidism and hypoparathyroidism. This is the first reported case of postsurgical hypoparathyroidism in our country with external brain calcifications.
