Familial idiopathic basal ganglia calcification (IBGC), also known as Fahr disease, is an inherited neurological disorder characterized by symmetrical calcification of cerebral structures lacking known metabolic causes such as calcium or phosphorus homeostasis disorders. Currently, autosomal dominant and recessive causative genes have been identified.
