Idiopathic very late-onset cerebellar ataxia: a Brazilian case series.
UNLABELLED The authors present a Brazilian case series of eight patients with idiopathic very-late onset (mean 75.5 years old) cerebellar ataxia, featuring predominantly gait ataxia, associated with cerebellar atrophy. METHOD 26 adult patients with a diagnosis of idiopathic late onset cerebellar ataxia were analyzed in a Brazilian ataxia outpatient clinic and followed regularly over 20 years....
متن کاملOculopalatal tremor and severe late-onset cerebellar ataxia.
Following four recurrent bleedings of a mesencephalic cavernoma within 10 years (figure 1A), a 62-year-old woman demonstrated left kinetic cerebellar syndrome. She then developed oculopalatal tremor (OPT) associated with bilateral inferior olive hyperintensity (figure 1B). Gamma knife radiation was performed, but she developed severe cerebellar ataxia. OPT secondary to brainstem strokes and ass...
متن کاملCSF analysis differentiates multiple-system atrophy from idiopathic late-onset cerebellar ataxia.
BACKGROUND Differentiating idiopathic late-onset cerebellar ataxia (ILOCA) from ataxia due to the cerebellar subtype of multiple-system atrophy (MSA-C) can be difficult in the early stages of the disease METHODS The authors analyzed the levels of various CSF biomarkers in 27 patients with MSA-C and 18 patients with ILOCA and obtained cut-off points for each potential biomarker to differentiat...
متن کاملProgressive cerebellar ataxia and new-onset diabetes.
In October, 2012, a 37-year-old Rwandan businessman was transferred to our hospital from Nairobi, Kenya, where he had been investigated for subacute onset of progressive cerebellar ataxia and quadriparesis of unclear cause. He presented initially to a hospital in Nairobi in August, 2012, with a 2–3 week history of imbalance and weakness, as well as back pain and stiff ness, without cognitive or...
متن کاملDifferences in saccade dynamics between spinocerebellar ataxia 2 and late-onset cerebellar ataxias.
The cerebellum is implicated in maintaining the saccadic subsystem efficient for vision by minimizing movement inaccuracy and by learning from endpoint errors. This ability is often disrupted in degenerative cerebellar diseases, as demonstrated by saccade kinetic abnormalities. The study of saccades in these patients may therefore provide insights into the neural substrate underlying saccadic m...
