Abstract: Introduction: Fahr Disease (FD) is a rare disorder presenting with basal ganglia calcification and its etiology is still unknown.Although, the common cause of the disease is asymptomatic, but it might manifest with neuropsychiatric symptoms.Dizziness is one of the common symptoms at emergency services and mostly it requires advanced examination to establish a final diagnosis.When a neurological condition is suspected to cause dizziness, it is tried to be diagnosed by imaging methods such as Cranial Computed Tomography (CT) and Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and knowing the relationship between calcification and symptoms will keep the patient away from unnecessary investigations.
