The medical section provides a starting point for assessing and treating patients who present with a movement disorder and guides practitioners through the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and work up of all major disease categories. [books.google.com]

Strabismus and nystagmus are present in a significant proportion of patients. Optokinetic nystagmus is impaired. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Dysphagia is present and Rombergism and pseudoathetosis are observed. NCVs and nerve biopsy reveal demyelinating and axonal features. Anti-GD1b or GQ1b (consistently present) antibodies, IgM paraproteins and cold agglutinins are present. [neuroweb.us]

Cerebellar atrophy (especially of the vermis) is present in all affected individuals. Additional reported manifestations include seizures, mild brain atrophy, mild hypercholesterolemia and borderline hypoalbuminemia. [monarchinitiative.org]

These patients present with gait ataxia usually with headache and papilledema. Progressive hydrocephalus can also present with subacute-onset ataxia. [jpgmonline.com]

Consistent with earlier in vitro studies, we show that the H493R Tdp1 mutant protein retains residual activity and becomes covalently trapped on the DNA after CPT treatment of SCAN1 cells. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment Treatment Options: There is no beneficial treatment for the neurological disease but physical therapy, speech therapy, and sometimes special education can be helpful. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
