| spinocerebellar ataxia | The most common hereditary ataxia, with onset in middle to late childhood, manifested as limb ataxia, nystagmus, kyphoscoliosis, and pes cavus; the major pathological changes are found in the posterior columns of the spinal cord; most often autosomal recessive inheritance.

| spinocerebellar degeneration | An autosomal recessive inherited disorder that leads to the progressive dysfunction of the cerebellum, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Symptoms usually begin in childhood before puberty and consist of an unsteady gait (ataxia), slurred speech (dysarthria) and jerky eye movements (nystagmus). Other findings include kyphoscoliosis, hammer toe, heart disease and high arches. Congestive heart failure is a common complication. There is no known treatment and prognosis is poor. Inheritance: autosomal recessive. (27 Sep 1997) |

Synonym: spinocerebellum. Origin: paleo-+ L. Cerebellum (05 Mar 2000) |
