Brait-Fahn-Schwartz Disease: A Unique Co-Occurrence of Parkinson's Disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

The Parkinson's disease-amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) complex typically manifests as levodopa-responsive parkinsonism, followed by ALS. It is extremely rare for Parkinson's disease and ALS to coexist without other neurological disorders. Named after the scientists who first described this overlap of two neurodegenerative conditions, it is referred to as Brait-Fahn-Schwartz disease.

Fahr's syndrome as a manifestation of autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome-1 and its unusual association with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.

Fahr's syndrome, also known as bilateral striopallidodendate calcinosis, is a rare inherited neurodegenerative illness characterized by abnormal calcium deposition in several areas of the brain, resulting in a wide range of neuropsychological symptoms. Fahr's syndrome, secondary to autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1, which includes adrenal insufficiency and mucocutaneous candidiasis in addition to hypoparathyroidism, is exceedingly rare. No case report has been documented to date to show the co-occurrence of Fahr's syndrome and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.
