چکیده
| March 2014 | 286 L E T T E R T O E D IT O R Since, emergent interventions might be necessary in cases with a history of epileptic seizures,[5] general anesthesia was selected for this patient. Titrated calcium replacement therapy is recommended by monitoring ionized calcium levels, since calcium takes part in muscle contractions-relaxations.[6] Although, hypocalcemia aff ects neuromuscular agent metabolism, additional neuromuscular agents were unnecessary and no residual eff ects were observed. For Fahr syndrome patients, calcium levels should be closely monitored in cases with hypocalcemia, and general anesthesia should be used.
