Introduction: Fahr’s disease is a rare, neurological disorder characterized by abnormal calcified deposits in basal ganglia. The clinical characteristics are various and usually appears such as disfunction of the affected areas. According to our knowledge, no case of Fahr’s disease together with pregnancy has been described in the literature until now. The objective of this case report was to describe the clinical course of this rare condition in pregnancy.
Case report: We reported 28-year-old pregnant woman with Fahr’s disease. She was diagnosed Fahr’s disease by using physical, laboratory and radiological examination 3 years ago. She had no complaint about neurological and endocrinological during pregnancy. Her pregnancy was uneventful until the day of delivery.
Conclusion: Fahr’s disease may not negative effect the pregnancy. However, in this regard, series of cases are needed.
