Radiologic features of Fahr's disease including computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are well described in the present literature. To our knowledge, magnetic resonance spectroscopy findings are not described yet. We report a case Fahr's disease presenting with symptoms of anxiety disorder with detailed radiological survey including single voxel magnetic resonance spectroscopy analysis. Keywords: Fahr's disease | anxiety disorder | magnetic resonance spectroscopy., Case Report A 41-year-old, right-handed man was admitted to the psychiatry clinic in our hospital suffering from progressing anxiety and sleep disorders associated with paranoid behaviors.
