A Small Trinucleotide Expansion in the TBP Gene Gives Rise to a Sporadic Case of SCA17 with Abnormal Putaminal Findings on MRI [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A Japanese woman developed gait disturbances at 25 years of age, and subsequently underwent gradual changes in her personality. By the age of 42, she showed clear signs of dementia and cerebellar ataxia, and displayed behavioral abnormalities, choreic ...

Frequency, characteristics, and immunological accompaniments of ataxia in anti-NMDAR antibody-associated encephalitis

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
IntroductionVery rarely, adult NMDAR antibody-associated encephalitis (NMDAR-E) leads to persistent cerebellar atrophy and ataxia. Transient cerebellar ataxia is common in pediatric NMDAR-E. Immune-mediated cerebellar ataxia may be associated with myelin

COQ8A-Ataxia as a Manifestation of Primary Coenzyme Q Deficiency

open access: yesMetabolites, 2022
COQ8A-ataxia is a mitochondrial disease in which a defect in coenzyme Q10 synthesis leads to dysfunction of the respiratory chain. The disease is usually present as childhood-onset progressive ataxia with developmental regression and cerebellar atrophy ...

Childhood Cerebellar Ataxia [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Child Neurology, 2012
Childhood presentations of ataxia, an impairment of balance and coordination caused by damage to or dysfunction of the cerebellum, can often be challenging to diagnose. Presentations tend to be clinically heterogeneous, but key considerations may vary based on the child’s age at onset, the course of illness, and subtle differences in phenotype ...

Non-progressive cerebellar ataxia and previous undetermined acute cerebellar injury: a mysterious clinical condition

open access: yesArquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2015
Cerebellar ataxias represent a wide group of neurological diseases secondary to dysfunctions of cerebellum or its associated pathways, rarely coursing with acute-onset acquired etiologies and chronic non-progressive presentation.

[18F]Fluorodeprenyl‐D2 PET as a Tool to Monitor Disease Activity in GAD65‐Ab Autoimmune Encephalitis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate [18F]fluorodeprenyl‐D2 ([18F]F‐DED) positron‐emission tomography (PET) imaging as a biomarker of disease activity in autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) associated with glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) antibodies. Methods [18F]F‐DED PET was performed in 25 GAD65‐AIE patients and 8 controls using dynamic (0–60 min) and ...
