Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 with Levodopa-responsive parkinsonism culminating in motor neuron disease

Jon Infante et al. Mov Disord. 2004 Jul.

Abstract

We describe an exceptional spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) phenotype combining cerebellar ataxia, levodopa-responsive parkinsonism, and motor neuron symptoms. We conclude that motor neuron symptoms and signs may be a striking manifestation in SCA2, masking pre-existing cerebellar and extrapyramidal semeiology.
