Abstract
- Dystonia can be encountered in a small subset of patients with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), but task specific dystonia is extremely rare. We report a case of a 48-year-old male with confirmed SCA Type 1 (SCA1) with mild progressive cerebellar ataxia and a prominent and disabling Writer’s cramp. This case highlights the ever-expanding phenotypic heterogeneity of the SCA’s in general and SCA1 in particular.
