Objective: Description of a patient with psychogenic movement disorder showing cerebellar atrophy in neuroimaging. Background: Psychogenic movement disorders are typically characterized by abnormal involuntary movements…Screening for SLC25A46 mutations in familial and sporadic ataxic patients
Objective: To identify possible mutations of the SLC25A46 gene in patients with various forms of ataxia. Background: Members of the solute carrier family 25 (SLC25)…Sustained effects of cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation in patients with ataxia: A randomized, double blind, sham-controlled study
Objective: The present study investigated whether a prolonged session of cerebellar anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) could improve symptoms in patients with ataxia at…STUB1/CHIP mutations cause Gordon Holmes syndrome as part of widespread multisystemic neurodegeneration: Evidence from novel mutations
Objective: (1) To provide phenotypic and imaging evidence for a widespread neurodegenerative process caused by mutations in CHIP, thus demonstrating a close clinical correspondence to…Preliminary findings of MR imaging of the entire spinal cord in Friedreich’s ataxia
Objective: To evaluate abnormalities in the entire spinal cord in patients with Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) compared to healthy controls using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and…Anti-GAD antibody cerebellar ataxia mimicking multiple system atrophy
Objective: To describe a case of anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GAD-Abs)-associated cerebellar ataxia (CA), which presented with gradual dysautonomia and parkinsonism fulfilling criteria for MSA,…
