Abstract
- Early onset cerebellar ataxia with retained tendon reflexes is clinical syndrome characterized by progressive cerebelar ataxia of unknown etiology with an onset within the first two decades. This disorder was distinguished from Friedreich's ataxia by the preservation of the tendon reflexes. We have experienced a case of early onset cerebellar ataxia with retained tendon reflexes which was diagnosed by clinical features, eletrophysiologic studies, and MRI scan. This 8 year-old male patient had suffered from gait ataxia with delayed growth and development since 3 years of age. A brief review of the related literatures was also made.
