Presentation
Case presentation: A 7-year-old female patient from Bogotá, who presented clinical signs of global neurodevelopmental delay, cerebellar ataxia, frequent respiratory infections and ocular telangiectasias. [scielo.org.co]
The main clinical characteristics include: cerebellar ataxia: progressive and present in all cases oculomucocutaneous telangiectasias greater susceptibility to types of infection (partial combined immunodeficiency 3) and neoplasms Genetics The condition [radiopaedia.org]
Eyes
- Abnormal Eye Movement
It is characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia, abnormal eye movements, oculocutaneous telangiectasias and immunodeficiency. [scielo.org.co]
Neurologic
- Chorea
The characteristic symptoms of this disease usually appear early in childhood and include cerebellar ataxia, oculomotor apraxia, chorea, and cognitive impairment. 2 Moreover, the cells of AT patients present chromosomal instability, hypersensitivity to [scielo.org.co]

- Dysmetria
The neurological examination revealed bradylalia, bradypsychia, ataxic gait with enlargement of the support polygon, presence of oculomotor apraxia, dysmetria and telangiectasias in sclera (Figure 1), so more specific tests were requested. [scielo.org.co]
- Language Delays
During the interview, psychomotor and language delays were observed, as well as multiple respiratory and gastrointestinal tract infections. [scielo.org.co]

Treatment
Early diagnosis is critical to initiate a timely interdisciplinary treatment, improve acute symptoms, and control the multiple comorbidities of the disease. [scielo.org.co]
Treatment and prognosis As there is no cure (currently), treatment is generally around supportive measures. [radiopaedia.org]
Treatments for bladder cancer include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and biologic therapy. Biologic therapy boosts your body's own ability to fight cancer. [mendelian.co]
Prognosis
Treatment and prognosis As there is no cure (currently), treatment is generally around supportive measures. [radiopaedia.org]
However, the disease should be confirmed by verifying elevated levels of AFP and, if necessary, a genetic study, all in order to generate an appropriate clinical approach to better guide the management and prognosis of patients. [scielo.org.co]
Etiology
Etiology Hypertrophy and dysmotility of the esophageal smooth muscles is suggested to have causative role for dysphagia. Genetic counseling In several cases, autosomal dominant inheritance has been suspected. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Epidemiology
Epidemiology Less than ten cases have been reported so far. Clinical description Three of the reported patients manifested multiple odontomas. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Finally, it should be noted that since the population mentioned is not representative, no epidemiological data can be generated or generalized about the semiology or clinical benefit of treatment for AT. [scielo.org.co]
