Fahr’s syndrome, or idiopathic basal ganglia calcification, is a rare neurological disorder characterized by bilateral, symmetrical calcifications involving the basal ganglia, thalami, dentate nuclei, and subcortical white matter. We report the case of a 46-year-old man who presented with transient loss of consciousness following minor head trauma. Brain CT revealed a right occipital fracture, left frontal contusions, and scalp swelling, but also multiple symmetric calcifications affecting the lentiform nuclei, thalami, dentate nuclei, hippocampus, caudate nuclei, corona radiata, and centrum semi-ovale—findings consistent with Fahr’s syndrome. This case highlights the importance of recognizing typical CT features of Fahr’s syndrome, even when detected incidentally in trauma settings, and discusses the role of various imaging modalities in diagnosis.
