ABSTRACT
Speech disorders are reported as a common symptom of
bilateral striopallidodentate calcinosis. Also, it is noteworthy that slurred
speech is considered a core clinical feature suggesting further investigation
with neuroimaging. However, speech impairment is probably the most poorly
described clinical manifestation of Fahr's Disease (FD) in the literature. A
literature search was performed in Medline using a set of terms that included
“Fahr's Disease,” “speech,” and “voice without language restriction”. We found
the following clinical descriptions for speech abnormalities: “slurred speech,”
“speech disorder,” “speech difficulty,” “speech abnormalities,” “progressively
slurred speech,” “slurring of speech,” “a deterioration of speech,” “occasional
stuttering in her speech and slight hypophonia,” “occasional stuttering of
speech in crowds,” “speech disturbance,” “mild dysarthric speech,” “speech
impairment,” “speech problems,” and “speech deficit.”
Keywords: Fahr's disease, idiopathic basal
ganglia calcification, fahr's syndrome, speech and voice disorder, basal
ganglia
