Fahr syndrome (FS) is a rare disorder where bilateral, almost symmetric, calcium and other mineral deposits occur in basal ganglia, cerebellar dentate nucleus and white matter. The clinical pattern is variable and may be associated with neuropsychiatric symptoms, seizures, cerebellar or extrapyramidal dysfunction and dementia. In this study, it was aimed to present FS diagnosed with schizophrenia for many years with misdiagnosis in the context of literature information. FS can sometimes be detected without symptoms. The brain computed tomography (BCT) is the best useful diagnosis method.
