Abstract
SUMMARY: We present findings on MR imaging in 5 patients with autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS). In the literature, early atrophy of the superior vermis as well as progressive atrophy of the cerebellar hemispheres and cervical cord was described. We found linear hypointensity on T2 and T2 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery–weighted images in the pons in all of our 5 patients.
