Presentation
Hereby we present 10 cases of SCA-12 with emphasis upon clinical presentations. Methods: Medical history, demographic data and detailed clinical presentation were studied. [mdsabstracts.org]
The clinical presentation of these 6 cases was variable. [annalsofian.org]
However, these ophthalmoscopic abnormalities are not usually present until late in the course of the disease. [journals.lww.com]

Clinically, our SCA11 patients had phenotypic characteristics as described before presenting with slowly progressive almost pure cerebellar ataxia with normal life expectancy. [hal.archives-ouvertes.fr]
Entire Body System
- Progressive Ophthalmoplegia
Slowing of saccades is an early sign, suggesting involvement of the brainstem reticular formation (10,14), and is later followed by progressive ophthalmoplegia. [journals.lww.com]
