Bilateral striopallidodentate calcinosis

MONDO:0008947

A basal ganglia disease characterized by the accumulation of calcium deposits in different brain regions, particularly the basal ganglia and dentate nucleus, and is often associated with neurodegeneration.

Also known as: BSPDC, PFBC, Primary Familial Brain Calcification, basal ganglia calcification, basal ganglia degeneration with calcification, cerebrovascular ferrocalcinosis, primary familial brain calcification, Fahr disease

Could a bone drug stop brain calcium buildup in Fahr's disease?

Disease control Recruiting now

This phase 2 trial tests whether etidronate, a drug used for bone disorders, can reduce calcium deposits in the brain and slow disease progression in Fahr's disease or syndrome. 98 adults will receive either etidronate or a placebo for 12 months. The study measures changes in thi…
