ABSTRACT
The spectrum of degenerative ataxia includes the symptomatic degenerative ataxias and the primary degenerative ataxias. The later may be sporadic and idiopathic or hereditary, being genetically determined. When an individual ataxic patient presents with an adult-onset degenerative ataxia and has a negative family history, the physician is faced with a diagnosis of pure idiopathic sporadic degenerative ataxia or one of the hereditary ataxias. The clinical spectrum of olivopontocerebellar atrophy (OPCA) usually consists of pancerebellar signs with pyramidal and abnormal eye movements. Although Stridor is more commonly found in multisystem atrophy, it is rarely seen in OPCA. We, here report a case of third decade onset of ataxia presenting with stridor.
