A case of fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome with superior cerebellar peduncle lesions
Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting carriers of a premutation in the FMR1 gene involving expansion of CGG repeats. We present the case of a 66-year-old man with fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome caused by a premutation of the FMR1 gene with approximately 80–110 CGG repeats. He demonstrated progressive cognitive decline, dysarthria, truncal ataxia, and incoordination. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed prominent middle cerebellar peduncle and corpus callosum splenium signs, while skin biopsy showed p62-positive nuclear inclusion bodies. Genetic analysis showed no expansion of the NOTCH2NLC gene. The diagnosis of fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome was confirmed by the CGG repeats in the FMR1 gene. We discovered new superior cerebellar peduncle and superior cerebellar peduncle decussation lesions in our case, suggesting the possibility of prominent and early magnetic resonance imaging lesions in fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome.
期刊介绍:
eNeurologicalSci provides a medium for the prompt publication of original articles in neurology and neuroscience from around the world. eNS places special emphasis on articles that: 1) provide guidance to clinicians around the world (Best Practices, Global Neurology); 2) report cutting-edge science related to neurology (Basic and Translational Sciences); 3) educate readers about relevant and practical clinical outcomes in neurology (Outcomes Research); and 4) summarize or editorialize the current state of the literature (Reviews, Commentaries, and Editorials). eNS accepts most types of manuscripts for consideration including original research papers, short communications, reviews, book reviews, letters to the Editor, opinions and editorials. Topics considered will be from neurology-related fields that are of interest to practicing physicians around the world. Examples include neuromuscular diseases, demyelination, atrophies, dementia, neoplasms, infections, epilepsies, disturbances of consciousness, stroke and cerebral circulation, growth and development, plasticity and intermediary metabolism. The fields covered may include neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neuroendocrinology, neuroepidemiology, neurogenetics, neuroimmunology, neuroophthalmology, neuropathology, neuropharmacology, neurophysiology, neuropsychology, neuroradiology, neurosurgery, neurooncology, neurotoxicology, restorative neurology, and tropical neurology.
