Dear Editor: We have read the recent article published by Damián-Mucha et al. in this journal, which addresses the main features of Fahr's disease in an older adult (1). The diagnosis was incidental, based on non-contrast CT scan of the brain performed during the evaluation of an accidental fall, which revealed typical basal ganglia calcifications with lenticular predominance. Due to multiple comorbidities, the patient received multidisciplinary care during 41 days of hospitalization and subsequently remained under specialized home medical care for older adults (1). The authors emphasized the role of comprehensive clinical evaluation, laboratory and imaging tests, and geriatric counseling in providing quality care to these patients (1). In addition, they underscored the main features of Fahr's disease: progressive neurological dysfunction, basal ganglia calcifications, absence of endocr...

Dear Editor: We have read the recent article published in this journal by Alfonso Montiel et al., which reported the case of a 53-year-old man with diabetes who presented with severe headache and unilateral periorbital edema, as well as CT scans showing involvement of the left sphenoid sinus, soft tissue thickening, and bone erosion. Endoscopic biopsy revealed rhinocerebral mucormycosis, which was treated with debridement and liposomal amphotericin B (1). Despite intensive care management, his clinical condition showed progressive neurologic deterioration, persistent intracranial hypertension, and suspected cavernous sinus thrombosis; the patient ultimately died due to severe complications of fulminant rhinocerebral mucormycosis (1). The authors emphasized that infection is characterized by rapid progression and high mortality, particularly in patients with poorly controlled diabetes me...
