Zusammenfassung:Information on a case of a 66-year-old man reported an eight-year history of progressive ataxia and one-year of weakness, fasciculation and muscle atrophy is presented. Examination disclosed hypermetric saccades, diffuse fasciculations and absent deep tendon reflexes. Family history was remarkable for autosomal dominant ataxia. Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) may manifest as MND, particularly SCA2.
