Update on Cerebellar Ataxia with Neuropathy and Bilateral Vestibular Areflexia Syndrome (CANVAS). [PDF]
AbstractThe syndrome of cerebellar ataxia with neuropathy and bilateral vestibular areflexia (CANVAS) has emerged progressively during the last 30 years. It was first outlined by the neurootology/neurophysiology community in the vestibular areflexic patients, through the description of patients slowly developing late-onset cerebellar ataxia and ...

Clinical and functional characteristics, possible causes, and impact of chronic cough in patients with cerebellar ataxia, neuropathy, and bilateral vestibular areflexia syndrome (CANVAS). [PDF]
AbstractCerebellar ataxia with neuropathy and bilateral vestibular areflexia syndrome (CANVAS) is an hereditary autosomal recessive disease. Recent studies propose including chronic cough (CC) as a symptom of CANVAS. For 10 patients with CANVAS as genetically confirmed by biallelic expansion of the AAGG repeat motif (AAGGGexp) in intron 2 of ...

Novel Clinical Insights From a Swedish RFC1 Spectrum Disorder Cohort. [PDF]
In this study, we clinically characterized a Swedish cohort with biallelic RFC1 expansions by retrospectively enrolling 30 patients from a tertiary center and analyzing their clinical, genetic, and detailed phenotypic features. Our results suggest a Swedish founder effect in the Norrbotten region and indicate that RFC1‐spectrum disorder should be ...

Cerebellar ataxia with neuropathy and bilateral vestibular areflexia syndrome: a histopathologic case report. [PDF]
Cerebellar ataxia with neuropathy and bilateral vestibular areflexia syndrome (CANVAS) represents a widespread impairment of the various systems involved in balance: cerebellar, proprioceptive and vestibular1. The characteristic clinical sign of this syndrome is the impaired visually enhanced vestibulo-ocular reflex (VVOR), which represents combined ...

LHFPL5 splice site variant in a cat with deafness and vestibular dysfunction. [PDF]
Abstract Vestibular disorders associated with hearing loss are indicative of inner ear dysfunction. We investigated a young cat presenting with deafness and vestibular signs. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed no abnormalities. No obvious visual impairment was reported on ophthalmological examination.

ITPR1 Deletion in a Patient With Sensory Ataxic Neuropathy and Sjögren Syndrome. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Sensory ataxic neuropathies (SAN) are rare large fibre sensory neuropathies characterised by progressive sensory loss and ataxia. They may be inherited or acquired. When inherited they are more commonly seen as part of a broader syndrome involving cerebellar ataxia or mitochondrial dysfunction.

An exceptional case of bilateral vestibular areflexia complicating acute otitis media [PDF]
Introduction: Bilateral vestibular areflexia is a rare pathological entity whose most frequent etiology is drug ototoxicity. We report an unusual case of bilateral vestibular areflexia complicating acute otitis media through which we raise the difficulties of diagnosis and therapeutic management of this pathology.
