Answer 2

Calcium deposits are a symptom of fahr's disease, but calcium deposits can develop in all sorts of tissues at any time for no apparent reason, and many tissues calcify as a person ages, or as a result of trauma. Fahr's disease is a specific pattern of calcium deposition that seems to have a genetic origin. There are about 50 different types of clinical conditions involving calcium deposits in the brain, some cause problems, some don't.

All in all, it doesn't really matter much if you do or don't have fahr's, or if it turns out you have some other named problem. Nearly all of the conditions involving calciuim deposits have unknown causes, and many have unpredictable outcomes. Unfortunately, you will probably just have to wait and see if problems ever develop.

It wouldn't hurt to see a hematologist to see if the calcium deposition can be traced to problems in the blood. Its possible that something may show up in your blood that is causing the problem.

Answer 3

Of course it could be something else. You need to realize that they looked at your brain through a CT scanner or an MRI. They didn't open up your brain and do a check to see what is in the brain. They are just assuming it is calcium deposits. The main thing is that you need to see yourself as someone who can do this, who can make it through whatever it is. I know it's hard being 14 and having to deal with a health problem, but one out of three people deal with a serious disability or health issue at some point in their lives. Unfortunately, you got there early. I hope you will be fine and that you are worried for nothing. Lean on the people around you, and it's fine, even expected, for you to be scared right now.
