Cerebellar ataxia with progressive improvement.
BACKGROUND Nonprogressive cerebellar ataxias are characterized by a persistent, nonprogressive ataxia associated with cognitive impairment. Cerebellar hypoplasia on imaging is variable but is not predictive of the degree of ataxia or cognitive impairment. OBJECTIVE To describe a family with a nonprogressive cerebellar ataxia associated with cognitive and motor impairments that improve with ag...
متن کاملAcute cerebellar ataxia.
Acute cerebellar ataxia occurring in childhood is a definite clear-cut syndrome, yet only three cases appear to have been reported in the British literature (Batten, 1907; Taylor, 1913), although more recently cases with similar features have been included in wider surveys on encephalitis by Brewis (1954) and on ataxia by Shanks (1950). Typically the clinical picture is characterized by the sud...
متن کاملParaneoplastic cerebellar ataxia with central hypoventilation
We describe a patient with small cell lung cancer with anti-Hu paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration and central hypoventilation syndrome. This highlights the insidious clinical presentation of central hypoventilation and raises awareness of this condition as a paraneoplastic phenomenon. This case also highlights the complex circuitry of automatic respiration in the brainstem and the potential...
متن کاملSporadic cerebellar ataxia associated with gluten sensitivity.
A total of 104 patients with sporadic cerebellar ataxia were tested for antigliadin and antiendomysium antibodies. Twelve individuals (11.5%) with gluten sensitivity underwent duodenal biopsy and extensive clinical, electrophysiological, neuropsychological, radiological and laboratory investigations including human leucocyte antigen (HLA) typing. Two patients showed typical changes of gluten-se...
متن کاملCerebellar stroke with speed-dependent gait ataxia.
Gait Ataxia To the Editor: We report on a 63-year-old woman with ischemic stroke of the right cerebellar hemisphere. Her symptoms, consisting of acute gait ataxia and left hemiataxia, were resolved in the following weeks, but we detected a speed-dependent improvement in her gait by moving fast. We therefore believe that the hypothesis of an autonomic spinal gait program becomes more evident and...
