[Olivo-pontocerebellar atrophy. Report of a case (author's transl)].

A case of hereditary olivo-pontocerebellar atrophy is reported. The patient presented with intentional tremor and slurred speech, and physical examination disclosed a bi-hemispherical cerebellar syndrome, involvement of the IX and X cranial nerves, and retinitis pigmentosa. Computerized axial tomography demonstrated a supra and infratentorial atrophy, predominating in the brain stem and cerebellum. The literature on olivo-pontocerebellar atrophy is reviewed, verifying the ample clinical spectrum of this disorder amongst the spinocerebellar degeneration syndromes, and emphasizing the diagnostic value of computerized axial tomography.

Onset of the disease followed an unusual physical effort. An important blood eosinophilia and a mild hypergammaglobulinemia are present. The histopathological studies show a typical eosinophilic fasciitis. The use of steroids had no effect in the treatment of the disease.
