“…2 FD is characterized by clinical heterogeneity and can be asymptomatic (more frequent among middle-aged patients) or associated with neuropsychiatric manifestations. [3][4][5][6][7] The physiopathological mechanism of FD is not completely understood. Anatomopathological alterations mainly were observed in small vessels, perivascular regions, neuroglia and neurons.…”

“…Brain imaging shows the presence of whitish concentrated radiopaque regions according to the affected area and with well-defined areas, although the highest concentration is observed in a particular region of calcification, such as the basal ganglia (1)(2)(3) . Regarding the clinical findings on the disease, the literature data show that there are changes in social behavior and motor functions, as well as motor and phonic tics and inappropriate behavior according to the situation experienced (4) , features that imply modifications in speech and orofacial motor functions.…”

“…It is known that injury to brain areas, especially those involving the coordination of movements, maintenance of motor rhythm, and muscle tone, such as the basal ganglia region, highly affected by Fahr's disease, can result in changes in muscle function, changing stomatognathic functions. In this disease of oral expressiveness, the individual has difficulty or inability to express themselves through speech because of the difficulty in maintaining speech (4)(5)(6) . Thus, this study aims to report the case of a patient with Fahr's disease, seeking to describe the main stomatognathic characteristics and vocal aspects found.…”
