Prognosis There is no cure for Fahr’s Syndrome, nor is there a standard course of treatment. Treatment addresses symptoms on an individual basis.[wikidoc.org]
Prognosis The regular monitoring required to ensure appropriate calcium levels means that the prognosis is challenging for many people. This may improve if synthetic PTH becomes widely available.[patient.info]
It is noteworthy that the prognosis is variable, cannot be predicted and is unrelated to the extent of calcifications [ 11 ]. Death is usually due to neurological deterioration [ 11 ].[omicsonline.org]
