Patients typically present at an early age with an acute-onset fever-induced episode of ataxia frequently associated with encephalopathy and weakness. They usually present one to three episodes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

All the patients described to date have presented 1-3 acute episodes. [elsevier.es]

• High Fever

  Around the age of 10 years, she presented another episode of high fever with no apparent focus of infection, associated with muscle weakness and worsening of balance, which prevented her from walking and performing fine motor tasks. [elsevier.es]

• Progressive Hearing Loss

  At 54 months of age, she had slowly progressive hearing loss. She presented to us at 60 months of age, and at presentation, she could walk without support, converse in two word sentences, dress and undress, and feed herself. [annalsofian.org]

  At 5 years of age, she developed progressive hearing loss; sural nerve biopsy revealed no abnormalities. [elsevier.es]

• Abnormal Eye Movement

  More variable features include abnormal eye movements, pes cavus, and dysphagia (summary by Demos et al., 2014). (601338) MalaCards based summary : Cerebellar Ataxia, Areflexia, Pes Cavus, Optic Atrophy, and Sensorineural Hearing Loss, also known as capos [malacards.org]

• High Foot Arch

  A rare syndrome characterized mainly by ataxia, absent reflexes, high foot arch (pes cavus), progressive optic nerve degeneration and hearing impairment. The ataxic symptoms tended to occur early in life after an illness involving fevers. [chemwatch.net]

• Urinary Urgency

  The neurological findings were unchanged at 32 years of age, but she reported swallowing difficulties owing to slow movement of her lips and tongue, and increased urinary urgency and frequency, which responded well to treatment with oxybutynin. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

• Areflexia

  The clinical syndrome of cerebellar ataxia, areflexia, pes cavus, optic atrophy, and sensorineural hearing loss (CAPOS) was first described 20 years ago, but it was only recently that whole exome sequencing unveiled the causative mutation in the ATP1A3 [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  These acute episodes tend to decrease with time, but the neurologic sequelae are permanent and progressive, resulting in gait and limb ataxia and areflexia. [malacards.org]

• Gait Ataxia

  […] syndrome, is related to cerebellar ataxia, areflexia, pes cavus, optic atrophy and sensorinural hearing loss and 3-methylglutaconic aciduria, type iii, and has symptoms including gait ataxia, hemiparesis and ataxia, truncal. [malacards.org]

  The signs and symptoms of Cerebellar Ataxia, Areflexia, Pes Cavus, Optic Atrophy and Sensorineural Hearing Loss Syndrome may include: Areflexia Blindness Dysarthria Dysmetria Dystonia Episodic generalized hypotonia Gait ataxia Hemiparesis Nystagmus Optic [dovemed.com]

  On cerebellar examination, she had gait incoordination (gait ataxia), truncal hypotonia, intentional tremors, positive finger nose test, dysdiadokokinesia, and incoordinated slurred speech (scanning speech). She did not have pes cavus. [annalsofian.org]

  She came to our hospital due to optic atrophy with bilateral amaurosis, sensorineural hearing loss, and gait ataxia, developing progressively from childhood. [elsevier.es]

• Dysmetria

  The signs and symptoms of Cerebellar Ataxia, Areflexia, Pes Cavus, Optic Atrophy and Sensorineural Hearing Loss Syndrome may include: Areflexia Blindness Dysarthria Dysmetria Dystonia Episodic generalized hypotonia Gait ataxia Hemiparesis Nystagmus Optic [dovemed.com]

  […] mild hypotonia predominantly in the upper limbs and paresis (4+/5) of the shoulder girdles and hips, universal areflexia, extensor plantar reflex in the right foot and slightly extensor plantar reflex in the left, mild-to-moderate upper- and lower-limb dysmetria [elsevier.es]

  He walks unaided but has mild dysmetria and ataxic gait, areflexia and pes cavus. He was treated for Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome at age 24 years. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

• Cerebellar Sign

  CAPOS was diagnosed only when she was six years old by targeted testing whilst she displayed optic atrophy, cerebellar signs and areflexia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Loss of Gait

  She came to our hospital due to optic atrophy with bilateral amaurosis, sensorineural hearing loss, and gait ataxia, developing progressively from childhood. [elsevier.es]
