Hereditary Ataxia
Abstract
Cerebellar Ataxia can be defined as the loss of balance and coordination due to various causes emerging in the cerebellum or related pathways. Ataxias can be classified as congenital, hereditary, sporadic and non-hereditary (infections, toxins, drugs and systemic reasons etc). In this study, features of clinical and genetical findings of hereditary ataxia were reviewed.
