Abstract

Spinocerebellar ataxias are heterogeneous disorders with overlapping clinical features. Spinocerebellar ataxiaโ€6 is a dominantly inherited condition characterized by relatively pure ataxia with a paucity of other manifestations including extrapyramidal findings. We report on two patients with genetically proven SCAโ€6 who had dystonia. One patient presented initially with dystonia, which remained the most disabling problem. Dystonia may occur in SCAโ€6 and can be disabling. ยฉ 2001 Movement Disorder Society.

## Abstract Onset of genetically determined neurodegenerative diseases is difficult to specify because of their insidious and slowly progressive nature. This is especially true for spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) because of varying affection of many parts of the nervous system and huge variability of
