No information found here must under any circumstances be used for medical purposes, diagnostically, therapeutically or otherwise. If you, or anybody close to you, is affected, or believe to be affected, by any condition mentioned here: see a doctor. A rare form of progressive cerebellar dyssynergia mainly characterised by intention tremor and often associated with convulsions and myoclonic epileptic jerks. Tremor usually begins locally in one extremity and spreads gradually, eventually involving the entire voluntary motor system. Legs are disturbed less often than arms Other features include unsteady gait, errors in estimating the range, direction, and force of voluntary movements, muscular hypotonia, asthenia, and adiadochokinesia are associated. The cause is uncertain, it may be due to a degeneration of the olivodentatorubral system. Onset usually in early adulthood, the average is 30 years. Mental deterioration occurs but is rare. It has been classified under the spinocerebellar degenerations. Some of the cases are due to mitochondrial abnormalities. Autosomal dominant inheritance with reduced penetrance suggested.

Baylor Neurology Case Of The Month
Most of the spinocerebellar degenerations have relatively late onsets (beyondthe age of puberty), and most demonstrate some degree of cerebellar,
http://www.bcm.edu/neurology/challeng/pat25/summary.html

Extractions: Diagnosis: Friedreich's Ataxia Patient #25 presented with progressive gait and limb ataxia, mild distal symmetrical sensory loss, dimished deep tendon reflexes, weakness of the gluteal muscles, and bilateral extensor plantar responses. These findings indicate cerebellar, peripheral nerve (or dorsal root ganglion), and corticospinal involvement and imply a multisystem degenerative disease. There was no evidence of autonomic dysfunction, and eye movements were left unaffected. Extrapyramidal involvement was not present arguing against one of the Multi-System Atrophies (MSAs), such as olivopontocerebellar atrophy (OPCA). The most salient feature in this case is the patient's marked progressive ataxia. Ataxia may be due either to cerebellar or proprioceptive dysfunction, though it is rarely difficult to distinguish the two. However, when both are present, diagnostic difficulties arise. The findings in this case - gait and limb ataxia, titubation, loss of check response, and dysdiadochokinesia - point to an abnormality in the cerebellar system. This patient also had evidence of a peripheral neuropathy with involvement of the posterior columns evidenced by decreased position and vibratory sense. The degree of proprioceptive abnormality was not sufficient to explain the marked gait disturbance, however. While this patient exhibited dysfunction in both the cerebellar and proprioceptive systems, the cerebellar involvement was most impressive. The primary defect, therefore lies somewhere in the connections to, from, or within the cerebellum.

Extractions: Colleagues: Stephen Cedarbaum, M.D. Wayne Grody, M.D. Stanley Nelson, M.D. Steffan Pulst, M.D. Clinical Services The Neurogenetics Program provides diagnosis, family counseling, and treatment for patients with inherited disorders of the nervous system. Many patients with difficulty walking, or ataxia, are referred for evaluation to determine if there is a genetic component. Common conditions include: * Spinocerebellar Ataxia * Friedreichs Ataxia * Cerebellar degeneration (OPCA) * Spastic Ataxia * Inherited diseases other than spinocerebellar degenerations * Huntington's Chorea * Chariot-Marie-Tooth disease * Mitochondrial diseases * Von Hippel Lindow disease * Unknown conditions needing diagnosis with symptomatology of ataxia or tremor A multidisciplinary team of specialists, including a clinical nurse specialist, a clinical social worker, a nutritionist, and physical and occupational therapists work with the physician to establish diagnosis and orchestrate the associated treatment plan. This team also works with the referring physician and resources available in the community to coordinate follow-up care as needed. The Neurogenetics Program is designated as a referral center for the State of California's Genetically Handicapped Persons Program (GHPP) and receives referrals from around the world. It is also affiliated with the National Multicenter Huntington's Study Group.

Both indicate spinal cord involvement by some pathological event: myelopathy is a more inclusive term that does not imply an aetiological factor while myelitis should be restricted to inflammatory diseases of the spinal cord. Myelopathy includes myelitis; myelitis produces a myelopathy. Any process that impairs the function of the spinal cord produces a myelopathy; in the common use, however, the term is usually employed with an adjective such as "compressive", "degenerative" or "congenital". Despite the fact that conditions such as spinal cord tumours or hydrosyringomyelia produce symptoms of myelopathy they are usually considered as specific, separate entities. On the other hand, "myelitis" is frequently a sort of wastebasket in which all myelopathies of unknown or undetectable aetiology are included. With these caveats in mind an attempt at classification can be made. MYELITIS Viral infections Usually of acute onset due to viruses that affect the grey matter (poliomyelitis). Herpes, coxackie and polio viruses are the most common agents.
