ABSTRACT
Autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by late-infantile onset spastic ataxia and other neurological features. ARSACS has a high prevalence in northeastern Quebec, Canada. Several ARSACS cases have been reported outside Canada in recent decades. This is the first report of typical clinical and neuroimaging features in a Brazilian family with probable diagnosis of ARSACS.
RESUMO
A ataxia espástica autossômica recessiva de Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS) é doença degenerativa do sistema nervoso, caracterizada por ataxia associada a espasticidade, entre outras manifestações neurológicas, de início na infância. A doença tem alta prevalência na região de Quebec, no Canadá. Muitos relatos de ARSACS têm sido descritos fora do Canadá nas últimas décadas. Nesse artigo, relatamos a primeira descrição dos aspectos clínicos e de neuroimagem típicos em uma família brasileira com provável diagnóstico de ARSACS.
