Presentation
In a review of 109 cases of ALD, six cases presented after the age of 20 years, and four patients had psychiatric symptoms at the time of presentation. 12 Among 34 adult-onset ALD cases, 19 (56%) were reported to have psychiatric symptoms. 13 In 13 of [e-jmd.org]
Reduced diffusivity and abnormal MR spectroscopy peaks can also be present. [ajnr.org]
Vertigo, dizziness, and imbalance rank amongst the most common presenting symptoms in neurology, ENT, geriatric medicine, and general practice. [books.google.com]
DISCUSSION In the present study we describe a family in which an early onset, non-progressive, mild form of cerebellar ataxia is associated with a reciprocal translocation t(8;20)(p22;q13). [jmg.bmj.com]
Many different types of inherited ataxias are presently known. Examples include Machado-Joseph disease, ataxia-telangiectasia, and Friedreich ataxia. [encyclopedia.com]
Respiratoric
- Aspiration
There is an increase risk for lower respiratory tract infections with age mostly due to aspiration of food as a result of impaired swallowing as well as deficient cough reflex.[2]. [explainmedicine.com]
Musculoskeletal
- Leg Cramp
Over the next 15 years, he developed progressive cerebellar ataxia with bulbar dysfunction, forgetfulness, leg cramps with sensory-predominant neuropathy/ganglionopathy, and dysexecutive behavior with obsessional thinking. [neurology.org]

To identify relevant publications, a PubMed search using the terms “treatments of cerebellar ataxias,” “degenerative cerebellar ataxia treatment,” and “treatment of hereditary cerebellar ataxia” was conducted. [movementdisorders.org]

Prognosis
Prognosis Prognosis is highly variable between the different types but improvement is unlikely. [patient.info]
Most acute ataxias are ingestions and postviral and have a good prognosis. If recovery from a presumed postviral ataxia is delayed (>2 weeks), evaluation for neuroblastoma sho... Blaser SI, Steinlin M, Al-Maawali A, et al. [5minuteconsult.com]
These evaluations may demonstrate that the patient requires rehabilitation following discharge, and, depending upon the prognosis, even long-term placement in a skilled nursing facility. F. Prognosis and Patient Counseling. [clinicaladvisor.com]
Prognosis The prognosis for a person with ataxia depends upon the type and nature of the disease. Ataxia as a result of trauma or infection may be a temporary condition, or leave some degree of permanent disability. [encyclopedia.com]

Etiology
CCA was defined as an SCA of unknown etiology with imaging evidence of isolated cerebellar atrophy. [movementdisorders.org]
Imaging is not necessary to confirm the diagnosis but can help confirm cerebellar atrophy and rule out other etiologies of cerebellar disease. [clinicaladvisor.com]
This study expands the mutational spectrum of AVALD and underscores the importance of considering ALD as a potential etiology of cerebellar ataxia. [journals.plos.org]
Etiology- IgA/IgG Anti-Gliadin Ab, Anti-endomysial Ab and Ab against Tissue Trans-glutaminase Rx-Gluten free diet, I.V. [slideshare.net]
Moreover, increased intracellular Ca 2+, which promotes transglutaminase activation, is of vital importance in the etiology of neurologic diseases. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Advances in genetic research in the last decades have improved their diagnosis and brought new possibilities for prevention and future treatments. Still, there is great uncertainty regarding their global epidemiology. [karger.com]
