Obsessive compulsive disorder with psychotic features as neuropsychiatric manifestation of fahr's disease

Abstract

Fahr's disease (FD) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by idiopathic bilateral basal ganglia calcification. It manifests as psychiatric, cognitive, and neurological manifestations. FD is distinct from Fahr's syndrome, in that the latter is having the symptoms generated by preexisting disease and abnormalities evident on blood investigations. In this case report, we present a case of FD presenting as obsessive compulsive disorder with psychotic features.
