Abstract:
Neurological symptoms in COVID-19 patients have attracted the interest of the scientific community, yet their mechanisms remain unknown. In some circumstances, the presence of neurological manifestations may result in an incidental diagnosis after a detailed investigation. In the present letter, we discuss a case published by Demir et al., in which the diagnosis of COVID-19 enabled the diagnosis of a rare neurological disorder, characterized by bilateral brain calcifications, commonly known by the eponym Fahr's syndrome. In addition, we report a case of primary brain calcifications unveiled by a suspected coronavirus infection.
