ABSTRACT

We present an 87-year-old patient, with dizziness episodes, walking instability, and a several months’ cognitive deficit, attended at the Lenin Hospital, from Holguín, Cuba. Physical examination revealed: dysarthria, bradylalia, dynamic ataxia without lateralization and osteotendinoushyperreflexia, in both lower limbs. Humoral studies were normal and the computed axial tomography showed calcifications in the basal ganglia and cerebellum, and a periventricular white matter. It was diagnosed as a Fahr's disease.
