Abstract
-
The incidence and the nature of visual involvement in Friedreich's ataxia who showed progressive visual impairment a few years before developing characteristic clinical manifestations of Friedreich's ataxia. The progress of disease in this case suggests that visual involvement may be from the same pathogenetic mechanism of peripheral nervous system in Friedreich's ataxia.
