dc.description.abstractAbstract Bilateral striopallidodentate calcinosis (BSPDC), commonly known as Fahr’s disease, is a rare syndrome characterised by symmetrical calcification over the basal ganglion and dentate nucleus. No case of Fahr's disease with associated manic symptoms has been described in the literature to date. We report an unusual case of Fahr’s Disease in a 18 year old unmarried male who presented to the emergency department of Universal College of Medical Sciences – Teaching Hospital, Nepal with symptoms of mania. This rare case of Fahr’s disease has been reported to highlight this unusual condition and its differentiation from the commoner Fahr’s syndrome.
