  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We reported a 73-year-old woman of spinocer-ebellar ataxia 6 (SCA 6). There was no family history of neurological diseases. She demonstrated cerebellar ataxia and scanning speech at the age of 48 These symptoms gradually developed. Brain MRI showed severe cerebellar atrophy and no abnormality in the brain stem. Her neurolgical symptoms and MRI findings were compatible with cerebellocortical atrophy (CCA). Analysis of the CACNL1A4 gene on chromosome 19p 13 demon-strated she had an expanded allele with 27 CAG repeats. Therefore, she was diagnosed with SCA 6.
