Abstract

The spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder with expansion of unstable CAG trinucleotide repeats in a gene on chromosome 3p, and is classified as autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia type II. Extrapyramidal findings are uncommonly recognized in autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia type II. A 27-year-old woman showed progressive ataxia, visual disturbance and torticollis. We report a case of genetically confirmed spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 with extrapyramidal finding.
