    Extractions: A group of inherited and sporadic disorders which share progressive ataxia in combination with atrophy of the CEREBELLUM; PONS; and inferior olivary nuclei. Additional clinical features may include MUSCLE RIGIDITY; NYSTAGMUS; RETINAL DEGENERATION; MUSCLE SPASTICITY; DEMENTIA; URINARY INCONTINENCE; and OPHTHALMOPLEGIA. The familial form has an earlier onset (second decade) and may feature spinal cord atrophy. The sporadic form tends to present in the fifth or sixth decade, and is considered a clinical subtype of MULTIPLE SYSTEM ATROPHY.

    Extractions: Over the past decade, the spinocerebellar degenerations have gone from a diverse group of loosely defined phenotypes to a family of diseases with many identifiable genotypes and the promise of gene-specific treatments. The evaluation of the spinocerebellar ataxias has been simplified, and the counseling of patients and families has been enhanced by the growing number of molecular diagnostic tests now available. Management strategies remain symptomatic and focused on rehabilitation, with empirical use of antioxidants based on research in other neuro-genetic diseases.

    Extractions: Please read our Return to Index Page last modified: August 6, 2005 Figure 1: Sagittal MRI of person with an inherited cerebellar degeneration (of unknown origin). This MRI shows prominent atrophy (shrinkage) of the midline (called the vermis). The main goal of this page is to serve as a repository for recent information about inherited cerebellar degenerations. It is not comprehensive, but we hope that it might be of some use to individuals searching for information about these rare conditions on the web. We highly recommend also using the OMIM database , which can be accessed on the web. A large number of the genetic ataxias can be tested for using contemporary methodology. An example of a lab that does this is Athena Most of the information here concerns inherited conditions, as there is considerable new data derived from researchers using a nearly complete map of the human genome (your tax dollar is doing some good !), and improvements in the technology of molecular biology. It seems quite feasible that within the next decade, we may be able to determine the gene that is damaged in most inherited cerebellar degenerations. As these data become known, it may also be possible to target specific therapies, probably over the next 2 decades. In other words, stay tuned, but we aren't there yet. There are numerous non-genetic causes of cerebellar disease.

    Extractions: Machado-Joseph Disease Definition: A dominantly-inherited ataxia first described in people of Azorean and Portuguese descent, and subsequently identified in Brazil, Japan, China, and Australia. This disorder is classified as one of the SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIAS (Type 3) and has been associated with a mutation of the MJD1 gene on chromosome 14. Clinical features include progressive ataxia, dysarthria, postural instability, nystagmus, eyelid retraction, and facial fasciculations. Dystonia is prominent in younger patients (referred to as Type I Machado-Joseph Disease). Type II features ataxia and ocular signs; Type III features muscle atrophy and a sensorimotor neuropathy; and Type IV features extrapyramidal signs combined with a sensorimotor neuropathy.

    Extractions: Friedreich Ataxia Definition: An autosomal recessive disease, usually of childhood onset, characterized pathologically by degeneration of the spinocerebellar tracts, posterior columns, and to a lesser extent the corticospinal tracts. Clinical manifestations include GAIT ATAXIA , pes cavus, speech impairment, lateral curvature of spine, rhythmic head tremor, kyphoscoliosis, congestive heart failure (secondary to a cardiomyopathy), and lower extremity weakness. Most forms of this condition are associated with a mutation in a gene on chromosome 9, at band q13, which codes for the mitochondrial protein frataxin. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1081; N Engl J Med 1996 Oct 17;335(16):1169-75) The severity of Friedreich ataxia associated with expansion of GAA repeats in the first intron of the frataxin gene correlates with the number of trinucleotide repeats. (From Durr et al, N Engl J Med 1996 Oct 17;335(16):1169-75)

    Extractions: An intensive search over a two-year period for cases of cerebellar and spinocerebellar degenerations in Benghazi, Libya, made through polyclinics, university hospitals and a centre for the handicapped, revealed a total of 52 patients, among whom 30 were index cases; the remainder were detected on family study. Twenty-five patients lived in Benghazi, giving a crude prevalence of 4.8/100 000 population. There were 24 patients (10 families)

    Extractions: The peculiarities of personality and mental state in children and adolescents with chronic tension-type headache Author's address: Neurological and psychiatric examination of 334 children, aged 7–15 years, 87 (23%) of them suffering from chronic tension-type headache (CTTH) is presented. All the patients had mental (mostly depressive and anxiety) disorders and 95.3% of them – psychosomatic ones. Clinical heterogeneity of CTTH was revealed: in the cases of daily continuous headache there were depressive disorders, in daily intermittent headache – depressive and anxiety-phobic disorders and in frequent headache pattern neurasthenia was predominantly detected. Personality features of CTTH patients were as follows: high anxiety, aggressiveness, asthenia, low “Ego” power, high frustration, sensitivity, hypochondriac, depressive and hysterical tendencies, affective rigidity. Patients realized mostly non-adaptive coping styles both for high and low pain intensiveness. Combination of psychopharmacology, psychotherapy and biofeedback for the CTTH treatment is recommended.

    Extractions: : Hello: : Can you tell me what diagnostic test currently are used to diagnose and confirm OPCA? : Thank you very much!! Dear Dave: Cerebellar degenerations (also called spinocerebellar degenerations) can either be sporadic or heredofamilial. Heredofamilial cerebellar degenerations can be either autosomal dominant (various types termed spinocerebellar ataxia = SCA 1 - 7, DRPLA, Machado-Joseph disease, etc) or autosomal recessive (Friedreich's ataxia, and some other rare types). The syndrome of progressive ataxia (imbalance of gait, incoordination of hands, slurred speech), in association with some other characteristic abnormalities (peripheral neuropathy, optic atrophy, retinitis pigmentosa, dementia, corticospinal dysfunction, oculomotor dysfunction, etc) is seen with heredofamilial forms. Ataxia is associated with autonomic dysfunction and/or parkinsonian features in sporadic cases. Either sporadic or autosomal dominant forms of cerebellar degeneration can be associated with atrophy of the cerebellum, pons and inferior olives, either on MRI, or at autopsy. Hence, OPCA (olivopontocerebellar atrophy) is used as a descriptive term for these disorders.
