Cognitive dysfunction in spinocerebellar ataxias
Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) comprise a heterogeneous group of complex neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by the presence of progressive cerebellar ataxia, associated or otherwise with ophthalmoplegia, pyramidal signs, extrapyramidal features, pigmentary retinopathy, peripheral neuropathy, cognitive dysfunction and dementia. Objective To verify the presence of cognitive dysfunction a...

متن کاملMRI Findings in Spinocerebellar Ataxias
The recent advances in genetic analysis have facilitated the classification of autosomal dominant or recessive spinocerebellar ataxia. Although differential diagnosis of spinocerebellar ataxia is clinically very complicated, MRI characteristics may be an important tool for diagnosis. In the present review article, we summarize the skills of neuroradiology for a diagnosis of various types of spi...
متن کاملMolecular pathogenesis of spinocerebellar ataxias.
The autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a group of neurodegenerative diseases, clinically and genetically heterogeneous, characterized by loss of balance and motor coordination due to dysfunction of the cerebellum and its afferent and efferent connections. Despite a well-described clinical and pathological phenotype, the molecular and cellular events that underlie neurodegener...
