1. Contribuição para a caracterização clínica das ataxias hereditárias autossômicas recessivas / Contribution to clinical characterization of autosomal recessive hereditary ataxias
As ataxias hereditárias autossômicas recessivas compõem um grupo de doenças heterogêneas, que necessitam de criteriosa avaliação clínica, de exames complementares e, algumas vezes, de testes genéticos para o diagnóstico. A partir da revisão da literatura, foi elaborado um algoritmo para auxiliar a investigação diagnóstica deste grupo. Esta tese

2. Contribution of tonic vibration reflex to the evaluation and diagnosis of cerebellar disorders.
Biceps brachii tonic vibration reflexes were elicited in patients with either focal or diffuse cerebellar damage and spino-cerebellar degenerations. As compared to normal controls, tonic vibration reflex amplitude was reduced in cerebellar patients, particularly in cases with unilateral hemispheric lesion, who exhibited a clear cut tonic vibration reflex asy

3. Electrophysiological studies in familial spastic paraplegia.
Motor and sensory conduction studies have been performed in 10 patients from three families with uncomplicated familial spastic paraplegia whose ages ranged from 4 to 41 years. In all cases the values fell within the control range. The findings may be contrasted with those in Friedreich's ataxia and some other spinocerebellar degenerations in which periphera

4. Neuro-otological abnormalities in Friedreich's ataxia.
Ten patients with an accepted diagnosis of Friedreich's ataxia have been examined neuro-otologically, and oculomotor, vestibular and auditory function assessed. Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) were also recorded. A high incidence of various eye movement disorders was noted. Some of these were indicative of cerebellar dysfunction. Reduced vestibu

5. Low leukocyte glutamate dehydrogenase activity does not correlate with a particular type of multiple system atrophy.
Leucocyte glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) activity was measured in 26 normal control subjects, 20 patients with multiple system atrophy presenting features of either olivopontocerebellar atrophy or striatonigral degeneration and in a heterogenous group of 15 patients with spinocerebellar degenerations. A broad range of GDH activity was found in all three group
