Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 55-year-old woman presented with a 10-yeai history of a progressive gait disorder. Her examination showed a spastic paraparesis with brisk deep tendon reflexes, but only minimal limb ataxia and no evidence for a sensory neuropathy The patient was found to be homozygous for the GAA trinucleotide repeal diagnostic of Friedreich's ataxia The presentation of Friedreich's ataxia as a spastic paraparesis reinforces the appreciation of the variable phenotype of this disease. |
