The autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias are a group of little known and often neglected diseases that are best understood by following a practical, multidisciplinary approach that focuses on ...

Currently, no medications exist to combat spinocerebellar ataxias, debilitating neurodegenerative diseases that cause loss of balance and coordination. Physicians recommend balance training to improve ...

A new study of patients with autoimmune cerebellar ataxia has found that the condition is not always untreatable and that many patents respond well to immunotherapy, particularly if started early. The ...

A new Journal of Neurology case report describes recurrent posterior stroke-like brain lesions that were ultimately revealed ...
