Description
India Elliott, Shailesh Dalvi, King Leong, and Stephanie Wong report a man whose underactive parathyroid glands calcified his brain and strained his heart, in a 2025 case report. The condition, Fahr's syndrome, lays calcium inside the brain when body chemistry goes wrong. The patient was 56 years old.
He collapsed with seizure like activity while drinking alcohol. Blood tests showed long standing low calcium with high phosphate. Brain scans revealed matching calcium deposits deep on both sides. His heart tracing showed a stretched QT interval and brief runs of dangerous rhythm. Calcium treatment by vein, then tablets with active vitamin D, steadied him. The case urges metabolic checks in fainting with seizures.
