The early neurological examination findings in children with Dravet syndrome are usually normal; however, in the original description, Dravet1 noted pyramidal tract signs and ataxia. To our knowledge, the nature and course of changes in gait by age have not been studied. We aimed to characterize...
Additionally, progressive symptoms consist of ataxia and cognitive impairment up to dementia. The 12forms that have been genetically differentiated to date are briefly reviewed, and the disorders and genes that are further associated with PME are named. Therapeutic aspects are briefly mentioned.Günter ...
intellectual impairment may be unexpectedly severe. Other focal signs include hemianopia and progressive cerebellarataxia. Visual blurring or distortion is also common at the onset (Walker, 1985). With progression of the disease, evidence of multiple lesions may become obvious and the final state is...
In many inherited spastic ataxias where the affected gene is primarily involved in developmental processes, the symptoms are often most predominant and severe in children. In adults, once the myelination process has ended, the disease is less progressive and often static. Although a multitude of ...

Objective: We wanted to ascertain the reported prevalence of NMS in different types of progressive cerebellar ataxia in adults.Background: Cerebellar ataxias comprise a large group of heterogeneous disorders with both motor and non-motor symptoms (NMS).Design/Methods: Systematic review of studies of...
3 Their patient too had become symptomatic in his 40s, but his phenotype (comprising personality change and/or aggression, dementia, and widespread chorea) was suggestive of HD. Additionally, their patient had bilateral sensorineural deafness, cerebellar ataxia, and extensor plantar responses, like ...
