Abstract

SUMMARY: The 50 patients in this survey were classified by a panel of neurologists into 4 clinical sub-groups: Group la (“typical” Friedreich's ataxia, complete picture), Group lb (“typical” Friedreich's ataxia, incomplete picture), Group Ila (“atypical” Friedreich's ataxia, possible recessive Roussy-Levy syndrome), Group lib (heterogeneous ataxias). The clinical symptoms and signs were analyzed for each of these groups. A constellation of signs constantly present in Friedreich's ataxia and obligatory for diagnosis was described. Other important symptoms, such as the Babinski sign, kyphoscoliosis and pes cavus were found to be progressive, but not essential for the diagnosis at any given time. Finally, a host of other symptoms can only be called accessory. The progression of scoliosis was found to be an important tool in the differential diagnosis of ataxias. Our study also indicates, in contrast to the opinion of some authors, that absent deep tendon reflexes in the lower limbs and early dysarthria are essential in “typical” Friedreich's ataxia.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
