摘要: Autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are slowly progressive and have a variable clinical presentation. Overlapping features among the SCAs make diagnosis of these difficult. Even when genetic testing identifies an SCA mutation, clinicians should be vigilant for other causes neurological dysfunction in patients. We report two patients who developed ataxia setting SCA-3 SCA-8 mutations, respectively.
