Ataxia

2013
The approach to the child with ataxia requires a detailed history and careful general and neurological examination as well as selected blood work and brain imaging and increasingly available genetic testing for inherited ataxias that usually have an episodic or progressive presentation.

Ataxias

Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 2006
Gait disorders in elderly individuals are a major cause of falls and their attendant morbidities. Ataxia is one of the neurologic components of fall risk, as are inattention or confusion, visual impairment, vestibular impairment, subcortical white matter disease, parkinsonism, weakness, sensory loss, orthostasis or arrhythmia with alterations in blood ...

The Inherited Ataxias

Neurologic Clinics, 1985
Clinical, biochemical, and genetic studies have brought clarity to many issues concerning the inherited ataxias. The classification, diagnosis, and therapy of hereditary ataxias are now better understood although many questions remain. Basic defects are identified in some disorders.

Genetic ataxia

Neurologic Clinics, 2002
Advances in molecular genetics have led to identification of an increasing number of genes responsible for inherited ataxic disorders. Consequently, DNA testing has become a powerful method to unambiguously establish the diagnosis in some of these disorders; however, there are limitations in this approach.

Dominant ataxias and Friedreich ataxia

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2003
The present review covers recent developments in inherited ataxias. The discovery of new loci and genes has led to improved understanding of the breadth and epidemiology of inherited ataxias. This has resulted also in more rational classification schemes.

Ataxia-Telangiectasia

Dermatologic Clinics, 1995
Abstract Abstract SCI-7 Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is the prototype for an expanded group of inherited radiation sensitive disorders that together define the XCIND syndrome: x-ray hypersensitivity, cancer, immunodeficiency, neurological dysfunction, and DNA repair deficiency.

Cerebellar ataxias

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2009
The term 'cerebellar ataxias' encompasses the various cerebellar disorders encountered during daily practice. Patients exhibit a cerebellar syndrome and can also present with pigmentary retinopathy, extrapyramidal movement disorders, pyramidal signs, cortical symptoms (seizures, cognitive impairment/behavioural symptoms), and peripheral neuropathy.

THE ATAXIAS

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1949
CLASSIC descriptions of the ataxias in textbooks are short and convincing, comprising two or three paragraphs, and frequently giving the impression that all of importance is known and well established. Certain "classic, pathognomonic" characteristics are described, with the knowledge of which one can make the diagnosis infallibly: For example ...

Metabolic ataxias

2018
The nervous system is vulnerable to intrinsic and extrinsic metabolic perturbations. In particular, the cerebellum, with its large Purkinje cells and its high density of neurons and glial cells, has high metabolic demand and is highly vulnerable to metabolic derangements.

Functional ataxia in a specialized ataxia center

Parkinsonism & Related Disorders
Functional gait is a disorder of ambulation and balance internally inconsistent and incongruent with the phenotypic spectrum of neurological gait disorders.This paper aims to clinically characterize patients with functional ataxia.Patients with functional ataxia were analyzed out of 1350 patients in Ataxia Unit of the Federal University of São Paulo ...
